Wondering what’s happening in the real estate market in Vienna & Oakton? Which way is the pendulum swinging this week? Toward a Buyer's Market? Or a Seller's Market? Here’s this week’s update.

• Inventory rose slightly (5 percent) – up by eight units in Oakton and five units in Vienna

• Average days on market for active listings declined in both areas – down to 91 days in Vienna and 88 days in Oakton.

• Housing supply in both areas still shows a Seller’s Market. There is a two-month supply in Vienna and a 2.3 month supply in Oakton. (But remember, market supply also varies vastly within the same city, but in different price ranges.)
