Fall Real Estate Update: Alexandria VA

What’s really going on in the Alexandria real estate market this fall? Despite what the headlines suggest, the numbers tell a different story.

In this October 2025 market update, Blake Davenport, Alexandria’s local real estate expert with The Davenport Group at TTR Sotheby’s, breaks down what buyers and sellers need to know right now. Inventory is down, competition is cooling, and this might be the best time to buy before the market shifts again in 2026.

💡 Why This Is True:

MLS data for Alexandria City shows a slight drop in active listings compared to last fall, even with an 18% increase in new September listings. That means homes are still selling steadily, but at a calmer pace than the frenzy of spring. Historically, this time of year gives buyers a unique window to negotiate, while sellers who prep early see better returns come March and April when demand rebounds.

📊 TLDR:

• Inventory is down slightly from last year

• 18% more listings hit the market in September

• Buyers have more negotiating power through November

• Sellers can prepare now for spring’s high demand

• Fall 2025 may be the best time to buy before the 2026 shift
