Housing Inventory Drops Noticeably in DC Neighborhoods
If you have been frustrated by the selection of homes on the market in certain DC neighborhoods recently, you may have good reason.
Capitol Hill Row Houses
Recent market reports from Long & Foster show that the available inventory of homes for sale in DC dropped about 5 percent between November 2009 and November 2010. While that might not seem very significant, the decrease of available listings in select DC neighborhoods like Columbia Heights, Mount Pleasant and Capitol Hill was quite noticeable. Here is a rundown of neighborhoods that have less inventory than last year:
- Petworth/Shepherd Park — 319 active listings in November 2010, a decrease of 4 percent from November 2009.
