Turns out, buyer demand is actually pretty strong right now in the DMV. And that's led to a housing market that's been surprisingly active this year.

But why are there so many interested buyers when mortgage rates are higher than they were just last year? One reason is because the unemployment rate is still hovering near historic lows. When the Federal Reserve began fighting inflation, many expected the low unemployment rate to rise. But it really hasn't.

And with so much of the DMV steadily employed and financially stable right now, a lot of people are able to seriously consider buying a home. And recently, the job market appears to be getting stronger as more jobs are being added to the economy than expected. So if you're thinking about selling your house, this year, solid buyer demand caused by a strong market may be music to your ears. To put your house on the market and get into the action, give me and my team a shout!
