A record number of homes sold for above their original listing price in DC last year.
Approximately 34% of homes sold in the District in 2021 fetched more than their asking price, based on data provided to UrbanTurf by Bright MLS. This is up from 30% of homes selling at a premium in 2020, and just 10% in 2019.
Of the 10,490 homes sold in the city last year, 3,590 sold for above their list price. Capitol Hill and Columbia Heights had the highest volume of homes selling at a premium, and in certain neighborhoods, the proportion of homes that attracted multiple offers was well above 50%.
