When we look at the homes that are under contract, this means that buyers who are actively looking at Alexandria VA real estate and homes for sale have chosen these homes, written a winning offer, and the seller has accepted. They have not yet settled, but they were chosen for one reason or another (could be price, condition, or location!) and are no longer on the active market.

Understandably, if the inventory for condos is going down, then that means that the number of contracts is going up.
