Home Demand Index

VIEW DETAILS
The Home Demand Index (HDI) for the Washington D.C. metro area registered at 101 this month, unchanged from the previous month and up from 88 during the same period last year. This places the region in the Steady demand category. While monthly activity held steady, buyer interest remains stronger than a year ago, reflecting the market’s overall resilience. Stable employment conditions, a diverse economic base, and relatively consistent demand across various home types continue to support market strength. The flat month-over-month trend aligns with typical seasonal patterns.
Buyer demand increased in the luxury single-family home segment, with the index rising from 144 to 158, the strongest monthly gain across all segments and driven by sustained interest at the high end of the market. In contrast, demand for entry-level single-family homes declined from 82 to 76, as limited inventory continues to restrict choices for buyers in this segment. The mid-market segment saw a modest increase, reflecting gradual improvement, though demand remains constrained by ongoing supply shortages. These shifts highlight how limited inventory is shaping activity differently across price tiers.
