Summary answer: Centreville is a genuine seller's market right now — just 1.8 months of supply and a 101.46% sale-to-list ratio are clear seller-favorable indicators. This applies broadly across communities, though Centre Ridge and Sully Station lean more strongly seller-favorable than Virginia Run's smaller, more selective buyer pool.

The classic indicators, current reading
| Indicator | Current Reading |
|---|---|
| Months of supply | ~1.8 — well below the 5-6 months considered "balanced" |
| Sale-to-list ratio | ~101.46% — homes selling above asking on average |
| Days on market | 7–25 days depending on community — fast by historical standards |
Why this qualifies as a genuine seller's market
A months-of-supply figure under 3 is generally considered a seller's market; Centreville's 1.8 is comfortably within that range, supported by a sale-to-list ratio confirming buyers are competing for available inventory.
What this means if you're selling
You're in a strong position — accurate, competitive pricing still matters, but expect genuine buyer interest and the potential for above-asking offers on well-presented listings.
What this means if you're buying
Expect real competition, particularly in Centre Ridge and Sully Station. Being fully prepared with financing before you start touring matters more than in a balanced market.
