They might want to sell?? As someone hoping to sell in the next 1-2 years, this certainly matters to me.


I hope not. The values were overinflated, and they need to go down. Sorry to tell you, but you got used to seeing jumps in 100k+ each year since Covid. No more.


The DC area is quite affordable given salaries and wealth levels. I don't see significant declines. Although its general undesirability otherwise will continue to keep it relatively affordable compared to global destinations like LA, SF, and NY.

Interestingly the data indicates the close-in suburbs are actually STILL undervalued if you compare to other comparable cities (adjusted for COL)


This isn't really true. Other comparable cities might have pricing at the high end comparable to this area, but the difference is that there are also nice close-in neighborhoods that are reasonably priced.

No, sadly, I think the spring / summer market will bring a slew of foreclosures the likes of which DC has never seen.
