Where you can press and where you should not
You are deciding if you can negotiate or if you need to come in clean to win. With supply at 1.07 months recently in The Fan District, VA, I assume you need to be competitive, then I look for specific moments where you can press safely.
One number to respect from the previous month is supply 1.07 months, while offers landed about 98.5% of asking. That matters because tight supply tends to punish slow decision-making more than it punishes cautious pricing. Some metrics were not reported for this period. Compete on certainty first strong lender documentation and a closing timeline you can meet. Keep repair requests narrow and tied to real defects, because you are negotiating in a constrained supply environment. Use the recent typical sold price of $680,000 in The Fan District, VA as a reality check so you do not negotiate against comparable outcomes.
