REALTOR® Association of Prince William CEO April Thomas says, “Much like the rest of Virginia, October sales in Prince William County reflect buyer eagerness to absorb inventory and take advantage of continued low financing rates. While new and active listings have fallen, the number of closed sales, new pendings and overall median price are encouraging for the season.” To review October’s market statistics, visit our website at pwar.com/market-statistics.
