Brian's Take
What the row home numbers are actually saying
Every metric on this page reflects row home transactions only: fee simple rowhouses and rowhouse condos sold through BrightMLS. This is not a general residential market overview. It is a row home market report. That distinction matters because row homes price, trade, and appreciate differently than the broader condo or detached home markets.
A 20-day median DOM for row homes citywide masks the fact that a well-priced rowhouse on Capitol Hill goes in under 10 days, while row homes in emerging corridors sit for 40+. A $1.0M city median masks the $600K spread between Petworth and Georgetown. The number that matters is the one for the specific neighborhood and property type you are evaluating.
The comparison tool below shows exactly that. Pick the neighborhoods you care about and see how their row home markets stack up on every metric that drives a decision.
"The buyers and sellers who make the best decisions are the ones who understand their specific market, not the DC market. Your neighborhood is your market. Your block is your market. Everything else is noise."

Frequently Asked
DC Row Home Market FAQ
What is the median row home price in Washington DC?
The median row home sale price across the 40 DC neighborhoods we track is $1.0M, based on BrightMLS row home closed sales data. All figures on this page reflect row home transactions only: fee simple rowhouses and rowhouse condos. The city-wide number obscures enormous variation. Capitol Hill and Georgetown row homes trade above $1M median, while neighborhoods like Trinidad and Brightwood Park are under $650K.
How long do row homes take to sell in DC?
The median days on market for row homes across DC is 20 days. That number averages very fast markets (Logan Circle and Capitol Hill row homes under 10 days) and slower ones (emerging neighborhoods at 30 to 45+ days). Well-priced row homes in high-demand areas routinely go under contract within a week. Row homes that sit are almost always mispriced or under-marketed.
Which DC neighborhoods have the strongest row home appreciation?
Year-over-year appreciation for row homes varies significantly by neighborhood and time period. The leaderboard above shows current YoY trends for all 44 neighborhoods, calculated from row home closed sales only. As a general pattern, row home neighborhoods with improving walkability, proximity to transit, and strong owner-occupant demand tend to appreciate most consistently. Capitol Hill, Shaw, and Logan Circle have among the strongest long-run row home appreciation records in the city.
Where does the row home data come from?
All market data on this page is sourced from BrightMLS via Compass and reflects row home transactions only: fee simple rowhouses and rowhouse condos. Median values are calculated from closed sales over a trailing 12-month period. Year-over-year comparisons use the prior 12-month row home median as the baseline. Mortgage rates are pulled live from the FRED API via the Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey.
How often is this data updated?
Row home market data is updated periodically as new BrightMLS exports become available. Mortgage rates update automatically from the FRED API at each site build. The "as of" date shown throughout the page reflects when the row home data was last refreshed from BrightMLS.
