Prince William County Housing Update: Nov 30–Dec 6

• Inventory increased to 780 active listings.
• Median list price held steady at $575,000.
• Average list price came in at $650,292.

The latest Prince William County numbers show a market adjusting to seasonal patterns combined with higher year-over-year inventory. Current active inventory sits at 780 homes, compared to 398 this time last year — a meaningful increase that gives buyers more options than they had in late 2024. Despite the added supply, pricing remains stable. The median list price is $575,000, while the average list price sits at $650,292. This stability signals that sellers still have leverage, but not the extreme advantage seen in prior years.

Weekly activity continues at a healthy pace. 102 new listings came to market between Nov 30 and Dec 6, and 86 homes went under contract. This ratio suggests demand is still strong relative to supply, even as inventory grows. Compared to last month (Nov 2025), when inventory was at 752 units, the slight increase to 780 indicates a normal seasonal rise rather than a shift toward oversupply.

Sellers should note that while pricing remains firm, buyers have more choices and are taking slightly longer to make decisions. For buyers, this moment offers improved selection without significant price pressure — a rare balance in the Northern Virginia region.

Common Misconceptions

“Inventory is rising — the market must be weakening.”
Not necessarily. While inventory is higher than last year, contract activity remains strong. In this report period, buyers placed 86 homes under contract, keeping the market balanced.

“Prices will fall because days on market increased.”
A longer DOM often reflects seasonal slowdown, not declining demand. In fact, prices remained steady week over week.

Important Considerations

For Sellers: Higher inventory means proper pricing and presentation matter more. Even though the median list price remains healthy, competing listings require strategic positioning.

For Buyers: With inventory nearly double last year, this is one of the most favorable buying windows in the past 24 months. More choices, reduced pressure, and stable pricing create opportunity.
