📅 Market Monday – End of June 2025: DC Metro Real Estate Snapshot

As June wraps up and we officially hit the halfway point of 2025, the DC Metro housing market continues to reflect a unique blend of resilience, opportunity, and evolving buyer behavior. Here’s a look at what’s shaping the landscape as we head into July:

📊 Market Trends at a Glance

• Median Home Price (DC Metro): $640,000
  Slightly up 1.7% from last month and 4.5% year-over-year.
• Days on Market: 21 days (Median)
  Homes are selling faster than last summer—driven by buyer urgency and limited inventory.
• Inventory Levels:
  Still historically low, but listings have increased modestly in June, giving buyers slightly more breathing room than in early spring.
• Interest Rates: 6.25–6.5%
  VA loans continue to be a powerful tool for eligible buyers, especially as affordability challenges persist.

🏡 Buyer Behavior

VA-eligible buyers and first-time homeowners are actively pursuing properties, particularly in Northern Virginia and Prince George’s County, where price-per-square-foot is still favorable.

Many buyers are prioritizing proximity to Metro lines and major installations like the Pentagon, Joint Base Andrews, and Fort Belvoir—making neighborhoods with shorter commutes highly competitive.

🔥 Hot Neighborhoods This Month

• Hyattsville, MD: Continued revitalization and walkability are drawing new homeowners.
• Alexandria, VA: Strong demand for condos and townhomes near Old Town and Eisenhower.
• Brookland & Petworth (DC): Renovated rowhomes are moving quickly with multiple offers.

🧭 What This Means for You

• Sellers: It’s still a strong market—especially if your home is move-in ready and priced right. Don’t underestimate the power of staging and strong marketing.
• Buyers: Competition remains, but slightly increased inventory and softening price growth may create opportunity. Consider VA loan assumptions if you’re eligible—especially if the seller’s rate is below 5%.

🔍 Expert Insight

The DC housing market is cooling from the frenzy of the pandemic years, but make no mistake—demand remains strong, especially among military families, government employees, and remote workers seeking permanence in a high-opportunity region.

As we move into the heart of summer, we expect continued activity through August, with July shaping up to be a pivotal month for price trends and buyer sentiment.
