Washington-area home sales plunge nearly 20% as buyers retreat

The D.C. area's home sales took a nosedive last month, according to a new report from real estate group Bright MLS . The big picture: It's more evidence that area buyers and sellers are staying on the sidelines as rates remain high and economic uncertainty prevails. By the numbers: The number of closed home sales across the Washington region dropped 19.2% in October compared to a year ago, per Bright data. New purchase contracts declined 20.4%. Showings were down 15.2%. Seller activity also slowed, with new listings dropping 6.1%. Meanwhile, active listings jumped 22.1% as buyers continued to watch and wait. And while the median sale price remained relatively stable — $625,000 — it did drop 0.8%, marking the first year-over-year decline in over three years. What they're saying: "Buyers are holding back this fall with rates above 7%," said Bright MLS chief economist Lisa Sturtevant in a release. "Higher-income buyers and cash buyers are still in the market, but it has gotten very difficult for first-time and moderate-income buyers." Yes, but: While buyer activity dropped across all of Washington's jurisdictions, D.C.'s median sale price still saw an increase (3.6%), along with several other markets including Fairfax city (6.2%) and
