July 2025 | Fairfax County Real Estate Market Update

by Giorgio Danso

As we move deeper into summer, the Fairfax County housing market continues to show resilience, with prices holding strong even as homes take a bit longer to sell. Here’s a breakdown of what’s happening in the market—and what it might mean for buyers and sellers.

🏠 Key Market Highlights (July 2025)

  • Median Sales Price: $795,000 (↑ 3% from June)

  • Average Sales Price: $884,000 (↓ 1%)

  • Sales-to-List Price Ratio: 99.8% (↓ 1%)

  • Average Days on Market: 18 days (↑ 17%)

  • Average Price per SqFt: $370 (Flat)


🔎 What This Means for Sellers

Fairfax County sellers are still in a strong position. Homes are selling for nearly full asking price, and median prices are rising—a good sign that buyer demand is holding. However, the slight increase in average days on market suggests buyers are becoming a bit more selective. Proper pricing and strong marketing remain key to a quick and successful sale.

🛍️ What This Means for Buyers

For buyers, the slight dip in average sales price and increased market time could signal a small window of opportunity. While competition remains, buyers may have a bit more room to negotiate or take time with their decision. Still, homes are moving in under three weeks on average—so preparation and pre-approval are essential.


📈 The Bigger Picture

The Fairfax County market is showing signs of balancing without any dramatic shifts. Stable prices and a modest increase in time on market reflect a healthy, active real estate environment as we head into the second half of the year.
