Bethesda Homes (Zip Code 20817) Analysis

Do I dare say a dynamic, vibrant and ascending market in the close-in Washington DC area? Recent market reports and observed increase in buyer activity point me in this direction. This specific study corroborates with data from past reports. Volume has been down but “average sold price” is almost on par with last years data. And although properties are sitting on the market longer this year, the “average sales price as a % of average list price” shows that days on market doesn’t always correspond to dramatic price reductions. For sellers patience and consistent marketing are paying off in the long run. When broken down into “micro-markets”, the “doom and gloom” disappears in the Washington DC area.
