Not all DC neighborhoods are delivering the same results for sellers right now — and the differences are significant.
According to new Q1 data, 20016 (Tenleytown, Spring Valley, American University Park) led the entire District with a median seller profit of $675,000. This area continues to benefit from strong buyer demand, limited inventory, and a consistent appetite for larger single-family homes in established residential pockets.
In second place, Georgetown (20007) recorded a median gain of $412,500, supported by its historic character, scarcity of listings, and steady demand from both local and out-of-area buyers looking for a premium DC location.
Rounding out the top tier, 20015 (Chevy Chase DC) posted a median seller profit of $330,000, driven by its strong neighborhood identity, larger lots, and continued demand for long-term ownership homes close to the city.
What these DC neighborhoods all share is a simple dynamic: limited supply and consistently strong demand for high-quality housing stock - which continues to support pricing power even as the broader market adjusts.
The takeaway is clear:
In DC, performance is highly neighborhood-specific, and understanding your micro-market is key to making the right timing and pricing decisions.
If you’re curious where your neighborhood stands right now, feel free to reach out.

Right now in the DC market, timing is everything.
We recently had a buyer go after a home that had been sitting for over 6 months… and the second we submitted an offer, another one came in. Same thing happened the very next week on a different property.
That’s the pattern we’re seeing Buyers aren’t rushing in week one anymore. They’re watching, waiting, and only making a move when they feel pressure.
But here’s the part most people miss:
that “competing” offer? It came from FOMO… and ended up falling apart.
Our client stepped back in and secured the home at an even better price than their original offer.
