The latest DAAR Market Indicators Report is in, and Ashburn continues to show why it’s one of the most desirable places to live in Northern Virginia. Here’s a snapshot of what the numbers are telling us about our local market this August.

Key Highlights for Ashburn

• Sales are trending up. Buyer activity picked up in August, with closed sales increasing compared to last year. Families looking to settle in before school started and professionals taking advantage of new inventory helped push numbers higher.

• More homes on the market. Active listings in Ashburn grew year-over-year, giving buyers more options — from townhomes near the Silver Line Metro to single-family homes in communities like Ashburn Village, Broadlands, and Brambleton.

• Prices holding strong. Median sales prices remain steady, reflecting Ashburn’s continued demand. Well-located and updated homes are still attracting multiple offers, while those priced above the market are seeing longer days on market.

• Competition is shifting. With more homes available, sellers are facing stiffer competition. Presentation, staging, and pricing strategy are becoming essential to standing out.

What This Means for Ashburn Buyers

• You now have more choices across neighborhoods and price points.

• Interest rates and pricing trends make it smart to shop carefully — you may find motivated sellers in some pockets.

• Don’t wait too long, though: move-in ready homes in popular communities are still going fast.

What This Means for Ashburn Sellers

• Homes that shine — staged, photographed well, and priced right — are still commanding strong offers.

• Overpricing is risky in today’s market. With more listings coming on, buyers have alternatives.

• Timing matters: think strategically about when to list to avoid competing with too many similar homes.

Final Take

Ashburn’s market is showing healthy activity heading into the fall. Buyers are active, sellers have opportunities — but both sides need to be smart and strategic.
