UrbanTurf is taking its annual look at the neighborhood housing markets around the DC region. Today, we head over to Congress Heights. 

Overall, the market in the Ward 8 neighborhood of Congress Heights remained pretty flat between 2019 and 2020. Home sales, while still robust at 121 closings, were down about 6% compared to last year with home prices rising only about 1.5%. Homes are not selling at the premium they did last year, but the market remains strong with an average sales price to original list price ratio just below 100 percent.
