📈 Luxury Inventory Is Rising, but Demand Remains Strong

Arlington’s luxury inventory rising nearly forty percent sounds like a major shift, but that is only half the story. While buyers do have more choices compared to last year, the market remains highly competitive because demand has not eased. Many well priced listings are continuing to attract significant attention.

With active listings rising from 62 to 85 year over year, buyers can explore more options across top neighborhoods.

🏡 Why Months of Supply Declining Matters

Despite more homes hitting the market, months of supply actually dipped from 3.3 to 2.9. This signals that luxury buyers are still absorbing inventory at a fast pace. A balanced market sits around six months of supply, so anything under three months shows ongoing demand.

This combination more choices but quick absorption is what defines Arlington’s current luxury environment.

🔥 The 1.5M to 2.2M Range Is the Most Competitive

The hottest segment in Arlington right now is the one point five to two point two million dollar range. These homes regularly receive three or more offers, especially if they are updated, well located, or move in ready.

This segment sees the most competition because it includes:

• Newer construction

• Popular North Arlington neighborhoods

• Larger townhomes

• Updated colonials

• Homes with modern layouts and strong resale potential

If you are shopping in this range, expect competition, fast timelines, and multiple offer scenarios.

💼 Why High End Buyers Continue To Move Forward

Luxury buyers tend to be less impacted by federal headlines, short term rate volatility, or election year uncertainty. Many are moving because of long term needs such as more space, lifestyle changes, or relocating for work.

This helps keep Arlington’s luxury market resilient even when other price points cool.

✨ What Strategic Buyers Should Do Now

To stay competitive in Arlington’s luxury market:

• Review comparable sales weekly

• Be prepared for multiple offers in the 1.5M to 2.2M range

• Have financing fully ready before touring

• Look for homes priced correctly rather than chasing overpriced listings

• Work with a team experienced in luxury negotiations

Buyers who are prepared and realistic about the pace of this segment are winning.
