Summit Homes Group Market Watch: Fairfax County is Heating Up This Summer – May 2025 Snapshot

At Summit Homes Group, we don’t just track the market—we master it. And if you're in or around Fairfax County, May 2025 is serving up some powerful trends you need to know whether you're buying, selling, or just testing the waters.

Here’s your no-fluff breakdown of what’s happening and how to move strategically in this evolving market.

 Fairfax County Is Still a Seller’s Market—But Momentum Is Shifting

Inventory is ticking upward. The months of inventory rose to 2.19, up 16.5% from April, and an eye-popping +90.4% year-over-year. It’s still a seller’s market—but the power balance is starting to even out. More choices for buyers mean sellers need to bring their A-game.

That’s where we come in.

 Prices Are Holding Strong

Fairfax sellers are still seeing premium returns:

• Median Sold Price: $840,500 (+1.3% MoM)

• Median Active List Price: $975,000

• Sold-to-List Price Ratio: 101%

• Median Days on Market: Only 10 days

In short: homes are moving, and they’re moving fast—for full price and then some.

At Summit Homes Group, we help our clients win by pricing smart, marketing creatively, and negotiating with confidence. The result? Less hassle, faster closings, and more money in your pocket.

Market Activity is Ramping Up

More homes, more action:

• New Listings: 1,762 (+7.2%)

• Sold Listings: 1,096 (+12.2%)

• Pending Listings: 1,067 (+2.3%)

That means buyers are still motivated—and sellers are cashing in. The key is knowing how to position your home in this shifting market. (Spoiler: we’ve got that down to a science.)

What It Means for You

For Sellers:

Now is prime time to sell—but the window to capitalize is slowly narrowing. The market is inching toward balance, so if you’re thinking of listing this summer, don’t wait until everyone else does.

Let’s get ahead of the curve. At Summit Homes Group, we handle prep, pricing, staging, marketing, and negotiating, so you don’t leave money on the table or time on the clock.

For Buyers:

Yes, prices are still high—but inventory is growing, giving you more leverage than we’ve seen in recent months. You need a partner who knows how to spot hidden value, write strong offers, and guide you through contingencies and competition.

Whether you're a first-time buyer, a savvy investor, or looking to upgrade—we’re the team that helps you play it smart and close with confidence.
