The Market Activity Index in Crystal City continues show sawtooth pattern. This pattern often indicates tension between sellers who want to move property but who are not willing to dump property at lower prices. At the same time buyers are moving swiftly to snag deals, indicating we are near the bottom, or at least in a period of transition. The days on market fell dramatically, and this means that real estate is selling again.
The chart was drawn from the past 180 days of condo activity in 22202 zip code.

Julie and I rented bikes in Old Town last week. We then biked the Mount Vernon Trail to Mount Vernon and back. The trail here is pleasant with some ups and downs that can be a little challenging, but not too tough. The views along the river and through the forest are great. Along the way the trail passes through the Dyke Marsh. We stopped there to take some pictures and drink some water.
A waterview is always a bonus!

Here's a snapshot of what's going on in the real estate market in Arlington VA as of April 28, 2010. The median price of homes sold increased sharply after March and at the same time the average number of days on the market decreased. This is a strong indicator that the market is recovering. As we approach the end of the first-time homebuyer's tax credit, we'll see if this is a trend or if this is capturing sales that would have occurred in June anyway.
