South Riding Fall 2026 Market Update
You may be wondering: okay, but what does this chart actually mean…
Key Findings
1. The 21.6% price drop is mostly about which homes sold, not falling values. Last September, 9 of 12 sales were single-family homes. This September, 9 of 14 were townhomes.
2. Like-for-like prices held up or rose:
Single Family average: $965,580 vs. $964,111 (relatively flat)
Townhome average: $677,488 vs. $600,333 (+12.9%)
This is the reverse of the DC metro story, where the median rose because more expensive single-family homes sold.
3. Most homes still sold quickly. Nine of 14 sold within 20 days, and one sold on day zero.
Townhomes and single-family homes are moving at different speeds. Nine townhomes sold against 8 active, which is under a month of supply. Five detached homes sold against 9 active, which is closer to two months.
What this means for us South Riding homeowners
The Good News
Home values are holding. Prices for comparable homes were flat to up over last year. Don’t read the headline median as a loss in value!
Townhome owners are in a strong position. Prices are up double digits, buyers are competing, and supply is tight. If you are thinking about selling in the next 6 to 12 months, you’re in a good spot. (Grab my 6-month checklist here)
Less competition from new listings. With only 9 new listings, a well-prepared home stands out more than it would in a busier market.
Things to Watch
Single-family sellers need sharp pricing. These homes face more competition and longer sale times, and the two 90-plus-day listings show the cost of overpricing. Pricing right from day one, strong marketing strategy, and openness to seller credits (for rate buydowns or closing-cost help) matter more than ever right now.
Rates are the main headwind. Almost every South Riding buyer used financing (11 conventional, 2 VA, 1 cash), so they are directly exposed to rate moves.
Opportunity for move-up buyers. Owners who want to trade up from a townhome to a single-family home can sell into strong townhome demand and buy where there is more choice and more room to negotiate.
Bottom line: South Riding is outperforming the region on sales and speed, and values for comparable homes are holding. The slowdown in new contracts and the rise in inventory point to a more balanced market going forward.
Townhome owners: buyers are paying more each year (3BR townhomes up 10.6%), so steady upkeep and strategic updates should hold value well.
Single-family owners: detached homes can face more competition and could take longer to sell. If you plan to stay in your home for the time being, maintaining condition matters most (roof, HVAC, kitchens and baths) so you are best placed when you eventually think about moving.
