The median sales price for a home in DC in July was $570,000, according to the latest monthly report from RealEstate Business Intelligence.

While prices remained high in the District, sales volume dropped off in the area. Closed sales clocked in just above 5,000 last month, a 3.4 percent drop compared to last July and the first time since November 2014 that sales fell on a year-over-year basis.
