Recent trends in the local Washington area signal it is a seller’s market heading into the summer months. Continued increases in sales prices over last year combined with low housing inventory and shorter days-on-market indicate increased competition between buyers for fewer available properties.

The most recent housing reports from Real Estate Business Intelligence for May 2012 -- released June 11 -- show the following changes in the local market:

• Zip Code 20002: home prices rose 9.5% over May 2011 while inventory dropped 27.65%. The average property is now selling at 100.63% of original list price.
  
• DC Metro area: prices are up 11% over May of last year, inventory is down 32.4% and days-on-market have dropped 17.6%.
