The Arlington market remains fairly steady as we move into fall. There are more choices for buyers this year than last, especially in the single-family and multi-family segments, but the actual numbers are still relatively small. Most year-over-year shifts are moderate, and some larger changes may be due to the specific mix of properties hitting the market.

Arlington’s single-family market is pretty steady, although there are more options available than this time last year. That’s partly due to a rise in listings taken, but the actual inventory numbers remain small. Yes, inventory is up 93%, but we’re talking about an increase from 14 to 27 homes. It's more of a gradual shift than a dramatic one.

Condos

Overall, the condo market is steady in nearly every metric. Minor changes in pricing, volume, and market time suggest a balanced environment. It’s a segment with consistency, which can offer buyers a bit more breathing room without major swings in pricing or competition.

Multi-family data looks more dramatic on paper, especially the jump in average price and price adjustments. But with such a small number of sales, a single high-end property can easily skew the numbers. Most other indicators suggest that this segment remains fairly stable, just with slightly more options than last year.

Across all three property types, the Arlington market is showing more stability than volatility. There are a few more listings than last year and some moderate pricing shifts, but overall, it’s a market defined by consistency. Whether you're buying or selling, understanding the context behind the numbers is key.
