DC Real Estate Market Update
JUNE 2026
Capitol Hill is moving. In 20002, the median days on market was just 14 days in May — down 33% from last year. Buyers are active and well-priced homes aren’t waiting around. Mortgage rates this week remained unchanged from last week, holding at 6.49%.
Closed sales were up 10.9% in 20002 and 23% in 20003 year-over-year. More transactions, more momentum.
DC-wide, the median sold price rose 4.2% to $740,000 in May — pushed largely by detached home demand elsewhere in the region. On Capitol Hill, median sold prices came in at $650,000 in 20002 and $830,000 in 20003, with strong price-per-square-foot value in both zip codes. For buyers who’ve been watching from the sidelines, this is worth a closer look.
In 20003, demand is up and pricing strategy is everything. How you price and present your home from day one makes all the difference in how quickly it moves.
MORE DETAILS:
- 20003 is active but needs the right pricing strategy. The 23% jump in closed sales is encouraging, but average days on market climbed 41% year-over-year to 41 days — a signal that overpriced listings are sitting while well-priced ones move. Sellers who price with precision are winning; those who don’t are waiting.
- Price per square foot is holding. Across both zip codes, price per square foot is stable to rising — 20002 up 6-7% year-over-year. That’s the number that matters for long-term equity, and it’s pointing in the right direction for owners.
