The 8-Year Path of Chevy Chase Home Prices in Three Charts

The backyard of a Chevy Chase home that sold in 2014.
It has been eight years since the bottom fell out of the national housing market, and while DC wasn’t affected as adversely as other parts of the country, UrbanTurf is taking a look at select neighborhoods around the city to see how housing prices have fared during that stretch.
We have analyzed Capitol Hill and the zip code that includes neighborhoods like Shaw, Bloomingdale, LeDroit Park and Mount Vernon Square. This week, we head to the land of high-priced, single-family homes in Chevy Chase DC.
The Slow Increase For Three-Bedrooms
Of all the property types and sizes that we have analyzed across DC so far, three-bedroom home prices in Chevy Chase DC have increased at the slowest rate. Between the first quarter of 2008 and third quarter of 2015, the median sales price rose from $808,000 — $889,000 in 2016 dollars — to $938,500, which amounts to about a 5.7 percent increase in inflation-adjusted terms.
