This year is just as busy as 2020 for the Ward 8 neighborhood when it comes to home sales, with one big difference: home prices are much higher. Prices in the neighborhood are up 26% across the board this year, with three-bedroom townhouses leading the way. The other thing that has changed in 2021 is that there is a lot more inventory for homebuyers to choose from. A year ago, there was a month's supply of homes on the market; last quarter, there was an almost three-month supply.
Below UrbanTurf plucked out several other interesting stats about the Congress Heights market.
- $422,500 -- The median home price in Congress Heights this year.
- 117-- The number of homes sold this year, down 2% compared to 2020.
- 41% -- The number of homes that sold in ten days or less this year.
- 98.9% -- The average sales price to original list price ratio in Congress Heights.
