A new report from Delta Associates about the new condo market in the DC region finds that Northern Virginia continued to lead the way in 2021. Interestingly, although price growth was tepid last year, there were two submarkets where the average price per square foot exceeded $1,000: Upper Northwest and Central DC, which overtook the former to become the most expensive local neighborhood for new condos.
