Question: How was the first quarter 2022 real estate market in the City of Alexandria?

Answer: Each quarter we take an in-depth look at contract activity in the City of Alexandria compared to the same quarter of the previous year. To put contract activity into context for the first quarter of 2022, we need to take a look at inventory. The lack of inventory is both consistent and persistent, and it is the reality that dominates that market.
