Brian's Take
What the row house numbers are actually saying
Every metric on this page reflects row house transactions only: fee simple rowhouses and rowhouse condos sold through BrightMLS. This is not a general residential market overview. It is a row house market report. That distinction matters because row houses price, trade, and appreciate differently than the broader condo or detached home markets.
A 19-day median DOM for row houses citywide masks the fact that a well-priced rowhouse on Capitol Hill goes in under 10 days, while row houses in emerging corridors sit for 40+. A $1.1M 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 house 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 House Market FAQ
What is the median row house price in Washington DC?
The median row house sale price across the 44 DC neighborhoods we track is $1.1M, based on BrightMLS row house closed sales data. All figures on this page reflect row house transactions only: fee simple rowhouses and rowhouse condos. The city-wide number obscures enormous variation. Capitol Hill and Georgetown row houses trade above $1M median, while neighborhoods like Trinidad and Brightwood Park are under $650K.
How long do row houses take to sell in DC?
The median days on market for row houses across DC is 19 days. That number averages very fast markets (Logan Circle and Capitol Hill row houses under 10 days) and slower ones (emerging neighborhoods at 30 to 45+ days). Well-priced row houses 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 house appreciation?
Year-over-year appreciation for row houses varies significantly by neighborhood and time period. The leaderboard above shows current YoY trends for all 44 neighborhoods, calculated from row house closed sales only. As a general pattern, row house 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 house appreciation records in the city.
Where does the row house data come from?
All market data on this page is sourced from BrightMLS via Compass and reflects row house transactions only: fee simple rowhouses and rowhouse condos.
