If you’ve been watching the Northern Virginia housing market, you already know the story: there simply aren’t enough homes to go around. As we head into spring 2026, inventory has hit historic lows — and buyers and sellers alike are feeling the impact.

The Numbers Don’t Lie: Inventory Is Historically Tight
In the two zip codes closest to our office — 22315 and 22310 — the current snapshot looks like this:
• 18 homes actively on the market
• 17 homes pending sale
• 12 homes coming soon
Zoom in even further to Kingstowne proper, and the picture is even more striking: just one home currently active on the market, with 10 pending and 5 coming soon.
For buyers, that means limited choices, fast-moving competition, and the need to be ready to act quickly when the right home hits the market.
Good News on the Horizon: More Inventory Is Coming
Our team is actively preparing to bring over a dozen homes to market in the next couple of weeks — and we’re optimistic that other sellers will follow suit as the spring selling season kicks into gear.
A more balanced market benefits everyone:
• Buyers get more options and less pressure.
• Sellers attract serious, motivated buyers — which drives up their final sale price.
