With the spring housing market underway, UrbanTurf is taking its annual look at the neighborhood markets around the DC region. Today, we head to Capitol Hill. 

Swift year in and year out, the Capitol Hill market is moving quickly again in early 2021 with sales up 20 percent compared to the same period in 2020. With a contract ratio of 1.01, there is some competition on the Hill and so far this year, about 1 in 3 homes have sold within ten days of hitting the market. 

Below are some additional statistics we picked out about the Capitol Hill market.
