The Fairfax Buyer Intensity Index (Fairfax BII) is simply an indicator of buyer intensity at any point in time (monthly). Positive index values means more property is being sold than there are active listings. Negative index values means fewer properties are being sold when compared to total active listings. Values close to zero indicates a relatively balanced market; number sold is close to number active. An out of balance condition exists when the difference between sold and active is greater than 25% of the number of actives or when the difference is less than 20% of the number of total actives.

Fairfax Real Estate Snapshot | June 2006

by Merv on Sunday, July 2, 2006 at 10:46 AM | [2] Comments [0] Blog links

This is our first Fairfax County Market Snapshot. Unsold inventory appears to be leveling, new listings are still outpacing new contracts by a slight margin. Fairfax County is not as deep into a buyers market as Loudoun, but that may not be much consolation. All indicators continue to point to a continued market decline. Difficult if you are selling. You should be elated as a buyer.

Fairfax Real Estate Market | May 2006

Official May market update for Fairfax County, VA: Unsold inventory continues to rise and is nearly 6,500 homes. New listings are outpacing new contracts by a 2:1 margin. Fairfax County is not as deep into a buyers market as Loudoun, but that may not be much consolation. All indicators continue to point to a continued market decline. Difficult if you are selling. You should be elated as a buyer.
