The limited number of homes for sale throughout the Washington region makes house hunting even more challenging than in the past.

While overall there were 6.4 percent fewer homes for sale in February 2021 in the region compared with February 2020, new listings of condominiums and co-ops rose by 24 percent, according to Bright MLS. Some condos and co-ops are luxury buildings, but many offer a more affordable option for buyers.

For example, the condo at 13723 Neil Armstrong Ave. Unit #405 in Herndon, Va., is priced at $399,950. The median sales price for a home in Fairfax County, where Herndon is located, was $560,000 in February, according to Bright MLS. Monthly condo fees for the unit are $348 and annual property taxes are $4,266.

The condo fee includes trash and snow removal, exterior building maintenance and water. Community amenities include volleyball courts and a playground.
