Briefs: Home prices, The Woods Road, pregnant supervisor, Day of Prayer

Average home price drops $100,000-plus

The average sale price for a home in Loudoun was $408,144 in March, more than $100,000 less than a year earlier, according to new data from the Dulles Area Association of Realtors.

March prices also dropped from February by about 4 percent, though the number of existing homes sold last month went up from February from 264 to 350.

Data also showed that what sellers are getting for their homes is further below the listing price. In March, sale prices averaged about 12 percent less than list prices, the biggest gap this decade.
