Redfin\u2019s records date back to 2015.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cQuite a few people in D.C. are selling their homes because they\u2019re losing their jobs,\u201d said local <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.redfin.com%2Fpremier&amp;esheet=54250342&amp;newsitemid=20250507786531&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Redfin+Premier&amp;index=5&amp;md5=c4be334fa41c739fea97b12711bfe6da\">Redfin Premier<\/a> real estate agent <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.redfin.com%2Freal-estate-agents%2Fmary-bazargan&amp;esheet=54250342&amp;newsitemid=20250507786531&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Mary+Bazargan&amp;index=6&amp;md5=770fdf293eab2f7183d0ccaf3d71b5aa\">Mary Bazargan<\/a>. \u201cMany of those people are planning to leave the area because the cost of living is high, and they want a new job that allows them to work remotely and be closer to family. I recently worked with a buyer who bid on a home, offered more money than any other buyer and waived all contingencies. Still, the seller ended up going with an all-cash offer because all of the layoff news made them nervous about accepting offers from financed buyers.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nElon Musk\u2019s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been slashing government workers in an attempt to reduce federal spending. At least 121,000 federal workers have been laid off or targeted for layoffs since President Donald Trump took office, according to CNN. Federal jobs represent 11.1% of all jobs in Washington, D.C.\u2014the highest share among major U.S. metros analyzed by the APM Research Lab.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nInitial unemployment claims in Washington, D.C. peaked in February, according to state-level data from the U.S. Department of Labor. But they may tick up again because more layoffs have recently been announced and some laid-off workers will become eligible to file for unemployment once their severance has dried up. Bazargan said she has recently received a lot of calls from prospective sellers who expect to find out if they\u2019re getting laid off later this month or in June.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIn some ways, the D.C. housing market remains hotter than the U.S. market, with homes selling faster and prices posting larger increases. The median home sale price in Washington, D.C. rose 4.1% year over year (to $600,964) during the four weeks ending April 27, outpacing the nationwide increase of 1.9% (to $387,855).\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cWhat\u2019s happening with housing inventory in Washington, D.C. could be a sign of what\u2019s to come in other U.S. housing markets,\u201d said Redfin Senior Economist Asad Khan. \u201cAnd while strong housing demand is buoying prices in D.C., the rest of the country isn&#8217;t so hot. Other markets may not be able to absorb further inventory growth without prices softening.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nSome places are seeing even larger supply growth than Washington, D.C. For example, nine of the 47 major metros Redfin analyzed posted a bigger increase in active listings during the four weeks ending April 27, led by <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.redfin.com%2Fcity%2F5155%2FCO%2FDenver&amp;esheet=54250342&amp;newsitemid=20250507786531&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Denver.&amp;index=7&amp;md5=5160c63fac8281160f0b23b88c3ac8b5\">Denver.<\/a> Four metros saw a larger increase in new listings, led by <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.redfin.com%2Fcity%2F14240%2FAZ%2FPhoenix&amp;esheet=54250342&amp;newsitemid=20250507786531&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Phoenix&amp;index=8&amp;md5=ceeb70a94c6634658de67919f6a87c9a\">Phoenix<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nRedfin looked through historical data to rule out the possibility that the surge in D.C. listings is just something that always happens when a new president takes office. It found that listings did jump after Trump\u2019s first inauguration in 2017, but that the increase had dissipated by this time that year, indicating that government layoffs are a likely factor in today\u2019s increase in listings.\n<\/p>\n<table cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"bwtablemarginb bwblockalignl bwwidth100\">\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"3\" class=\"bwpadl1 bwpadr0 bwvertalignt\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin bwalignl\"><b>Washington, D.C.
