More Homes, More Buyers: DC Market Picks up in Fall 2025

In September 2025, D.C. metro closed sales ↑ 4.4% yearly, with 3,894 homes sold.
New pending sales ↓ 3.3% despite lower mortgage rates, as federal uncertainty weighed on buyers.
Median sold prices were essentially flat at $600,500 (+0.3%), showing stalled growth.
Homes spent a median of 21 days on the market, 10 days longer than last year.
Buyers not reliant on government employment may take advantage of lower rates, but overall uncertainty is slowing sales and limiting price growth.
