DOGE layoffs are starting to leave their mark on D.C.'s housing market
The DOGE effect is finally here. After months of speculation, there are growing signs that the housing market in the Washington, D.C., metro area is starting to shift, and federal workforce layoffs are to blame, according to new data from Bright MLS, the multiple listing service that serves the mid-Atlantic region. For-sale inventory in the region is spiking, driven in part by early retirements and general economic uncertainty. While prices are holding steady for now, some real estate agents are reporting buyer hesitancy that could translate to lower prices down the line. Nearly 40% of D.C.-area agents surveyed by Bright MLS said they worked with clients who were buying or selling due to federal layoffs or buyout offers last month. Over half said the job cuts were affecting the market, and 43% reported seeing more sellers. 'The key word is uncertainty — total uncertainty,' said Diane Yochelson, a Realtor at Compass in Bethesda, Md., just northwest of the city. 'One day you go to work, and the next day you're done — you can't even go back to your office.' Yochelson has had several clients in government contracting who were affected by the cuts. One, who was laid off in February, was hoping to buy a home in the region before her son started kindergarten. Now, several months later and still unemployed, she's thinking about living elsewhere. 'People are now considering leaving the D.C. area,' Yochelson said. 'Even if it's a two-income family and only one person has lost their income, because of the financial straits they're in, they may look to go someplace else where it's more affordable.'

As of May, there were more than 13,500 homes for sale in the D.C. metro area, according to nearly double the inventory available a year earlier. Listings have increased nationwide, but there's evidence that at least some of the jump in the D.C. area is tied to the Department of Government Efficiency's efforts to shrink the federal workforce through layoffs and buyouts, said Lisa Sturtevant, Bright MLS's chief economist. Agents and brokers reported that some 15% of spring sellers in D.C. were selling due to retirement, compared with less than 10% in the broader mid-Atlantic region. Earlier this year, the Trump administration offered a buyout to federal workers, offering up to eight months of salary and benefits. Around 75,000 took the offer. Though federal workers are based all over the country, about 15% live in the D.C. area.

The median home in the area sold for just under $660,000 in May, up 3.1% from a year ago, according to Bright MLS data. But Sturtevant thinks prices can't continue to grow as aggressively in the months ahead. 'We're at a point now where there's enough inventory that's come on the market that we are starting to see a change in prices,' she said. 'We'll continue to see prices grow more slowly and possibly actually decline year over year in some local markets.' Cliff Cohen, an estate planning lawyer, knew he was taking a gamble when he decided to put his condo in Friendship Heights, Md., on the market in April with the goal of relocating to Florida. After a number of showings, but no offers, he pulled it this month and plans to re-list in the fall in hopes of finding a stronger market. 'We see the buying pool not only diminished, but also those people that would like to buy are afraid to pull the trigger,' Cohen said. 'There's so much uncertainty now."

22% of homes on market ‘have been sitting there for over six months'
More than one in five homes listed for sale have been sitting on the market for more than six months without a buyer snapping them up, according to analysis by a property website. Zoopla said that 22% of homes listed for sale have been on the market for over six months and remain unsold. Its report said: 'Many sellers have a price in mind that they want to secure a sale for their home, or a price they need to achieve in order to unlock their next home move.' They may eventually get their price but 'may have to wait a long time to achieve it', the report cautioned. Sellers may have to balance achieving a specific price against a timely sale, it added. House price growth is cooling as more homes are put on the market, the website said. The average estate agent has 37 homes for sale, compared to 32 last year. House price inflation is lower in higher-value markets, with modest price falls being seen typically in areas with home values over £500,000, the report said. These markets account for 8% of UK homes, Zoopla added. The report said there is a 'clear link' between house price inflation and the change in the number of homes for sale over the past year. In London, the South East and South West regions of England the number of homes for sale has jumped compared with a year ago, with house prices 'barely rising', Zoopla said. In contrast, northern England regions, the West Midlands and Scotland have registered a smaller increase in supply, creating an element of scarcity and driving above-average price growth, it added. Zoopla said that house prices across the UK generally increased by 1.4% annually in May. The report said: 'Home values are currently increasing fastest, at over 3.5% per annum, in parts of the North West of England and Scotland, specifically Wigan (WN), Falkirk (FK) and Blackburn (BB) postal areas.' Meanwhile, prices have fallen by more than 1% over the past year in the west central London (WC) and west London (W) postal areas, alongside Torquay (TQ) and Truro (TR) areas in the South West, the report said. It added: 'In addition to affordability factors, tax and policy changes aimed at second homeowners and landlords are leading to weaker demand and more sales by these owners, which is compounding the impact on house price growth at a localised level.' Richard Donnell, executive director at Zoopla, said: 'The number of buyers and sellers agreeing home sales continues to increase year-on-year, demonstrating a continued desire of more households to move home in 2025. Improving mortgage affordability will support buying power in the second half of the year. 'However, buyers remain price-sensitive, especially in higher-value markets where the number of homes for sale has grown the most in the last year, boosting choice for home buyers. Serious sellers need to be realistic on where they set their asking price in order to achieve a sale and secure a home move in 2025. 'The market remains on track for 5% more sales in 2025 but house price inflation will remain between 1% and 2%.' Sarah Cartlidge, branch manager at Fraser Reeves estate agent based in the North West of England, said: 'We're always keen to emphasise to prospective vendors that they do need to price positively and realistically from the get-go, in order to secure a good buyer in good time, and to make the best first impression possible when their property hits the market. 'We know that any property can sell for the right price, taking into account the local competition and the particular characteristics of each individual home.'
