“While it’s not out of the ordinary to see less market activity at this time of year, Loudoun County continued its slowdown in home sales last month due in part to higher mortgage rates and other economic factors. At this point, many may be wondering how long these conditions will last,” said 2023 DAAR president Allan Marteney in a statement. “We’ve already begun to see interest rates fall in recent weeks, and if that trend continues as forecasted, I believe we’ll see more buyers taking advantage of higher inventory levels in the coming months.
