As you may recall, we had a long and cold winter in 2014. 
It has been said that the weather played a role in our local economy. The year started out strong, but quickly shifted into an unusually slow spring market and then to an even slower summer/fall market. However, when we look at the big picture, it wasn’t all bad.
Here’s the big picture: Market Statistics-LoudounCountyVA-2014
Sales were down -7.89% for the year in Loudoun County, but the good news is that the Average SOLD Price was actually up by +3.5%. And even though the number of homes sold were down, the average days on the market also decreased – from 59 day on the market (DOM – 2013) to 44 days (DOM – 2014). Essentially, houses were sold over 2 weeks quicker!
We are looking forward to a strong and steady 2015, and so far all indications 
are showing that this year is starting out strong! In January of 2015, closed sales showed a modest increase of +1.8% higher than in January 2014. There were 589 new listings that posted this past January, a +5.4% increase over the number listed in the same month in 2014. The $410,000 median sales price this January was 4% lower than the same month last year, though the $550,000 median sales price for detached homes increased 5.7%. The median list price for new pending sales was $420,000, less than 1% below last January’s $423,982 level for new pending sales. This reflects a recovery from our slower summer/fall of 2014.
As you can see, all in all, things are looking UP for 2015!
