During the first half of 2016, UrbanTurf has been examining how home prices have fared throughout the DC metro area over the past 8 years. However, it is also important to see how neighborhood markets have performed thus far this year compared to the first half of 2015.

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.

- Despite an increase in prices, homes are spending nearly 14 percent longer on the market in 2016.
