The Wethman Group's Real Estate News - October 2019

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams
 
 
October 2019
The Fall market is in full swing! Inventory is still extremely low, which is pushing prices up. There are still good values out there though, if you know where to look. Our own Katie Wethman was one of the featured agents in NBC4 news' recent story about what you get for $470k in our area. Take a look here!
 
 
In market news, our area is expected to continue to see rising rents, as discussed in this article. But buyers are stuck between a rock and a hard place--average home prices are also up nearly everywhere in our region, and with no end in sight to our inventory crises, renters are going to continue to find it difficult.
 
In DC proper, September also saw a significant increase in median sales price year over year, and roughly equal sales volume (up in detached and condo, down in townhouses). Sellers are still getting 99%+ of asking price. You can dive deeper into the DC market stats here.
 
Our team is growing! We're welcoming Barbara Monahan as an agent on our team! Barbara has been in real estate several years already, and we're happy to have another experienced agent to help serve our awesome clients!
 
As always, feel free to contact us to discuss your specific real estate questions!
 
 
 
Interest Rate Update
Rates continue to be very low, and it's a great time to refinance (especially if you're in an adjustable rate mortgage!) Contact any member of the The Wethman Group if you want to discuss whether it makes sense, and for a recommendation to an awesome lender!

Winterizing Hose Bibs
 
The weather hasn't quite turned yet, but this is a good time to go ahead and winterize those outside hose bibs if you don't expect to be watering any plants the rest of the year. To winterize a hose bib, cut the inside shutoff valve OFF, then turn the outdoor hose bib ON to drain the line.
