The Rental Market in Fairfax County Virginia still remains strong compared to 2012. The demand for rental housing combined with low supply is breaking new highs with the average rents topping $2,300 in July.

The Rental Market is brisk in Fairfax Virginia and Northern Virginia despite the high demand for homes being sold.
June was a strong month for rentals
Our strong June was partially attributed to a significant drop in sales of existing homes in the month of June. A rise in interest rates in early June led to the decline in s...

No records are being broken in Fairfax county and the days on market is still stubbornly high compared to 2012 and 2011 but the units rented and the average rents are on the rise.

Like most years the statistics bare out the seasonality of the market with demand for rentals declining in January and a gradual improvement in February and improving with the season.

February is a mixed bag. While the Days On Market have improved from 41 days to 33 days which is a excellent sign but the average rent has declined from $2106 to $2053. We had a small decline in the total units rented from 433 to 429 which falls in line with the month of February. It's still to early to make any predictions on t...

Despite the constant drum beat from Capitol Hill we see demand for housing quite strong. Rents seem to be in decline but compared to most years this looks like a seasonal event more associated with time and weather rather than economic. Although its hard to predict any market movement so early in the year my comparison chart mig...
