Real estate, like any other market, is all about supply and demand.

SUPPLY:  As of February 12th, there are 606 homes on the market in Alexandria, Virginia.

DEMAND:  In the last 30 days, 77 homes sold in the City of Alexandria.  January and early February are traditionally very slow times for the Northern Virginia real estate market.  At this pace, there'd be a 7.9 month inventory of homes on the market.  However, I expect that the warmer Spring days will usher in a somewhat heated up real estate market (this REALTOR can hope, can't he? -- watch the video!)

Here are the details about the housing inventory in Alexandria -- if you're thinking about buying a home in Alexandria or elsewhere in Northern Virginia, you might want to whisper to your sweetheart this Valentine's Day that he/she ought to read this blog.
