Through the first five months of 2016, homes in Takoma Park sold for a median of $475,000, compared to $395,000 over the same timeframe in 2015.

- At 52, the number of homes sold thus far this year is pretty consistent with the same timeframe last year.
- Despite an increase in prices, homes are spending nearly 14 percent longer on the market in 2016.
