New home sales in Fairfax County and the D.C. region show cautious buyers but no crisis. Fairfax's average price per square foot held steady at $370, with home sales down 4.3% but pending sales up 7.2%. Median prices rose due to more single-family, higher-priced home sales. Regionally, sales dropped 6.5%, but pending sales increased. Economic uncertainty and federal workforce cuts temper market activity, though demand remains if mortgage rates fall.
