Neighborhood Pulse What Moved This Month, and What Did NotEvery neighborhood with 5 or more closings in September 2026, most active first: median sale price, the move on the month and on the year, and days on market. | Area | Median | MoM | YoY | DOM | Sales | | Capitol Hill | $1,100,000 | -2.2% | +14.3% | 7 | 19 | | Brookland | $626,000 | -7.3% | +14.8% | 40 | 9 | | Shaw | $945,000 | n/a | n/a | 9 | 9 | | Near Northeast / NoMa / H Street | $835,000 | n/a | n/a | 12 | 8 | | Kingman Park | $779,500 | +33.8% | n/a | 6 | 6 | | Petworth | $673,000 | -7.2% | -25.0% | 33 | 6 | | Bloomingdale | $1,400,000 | n/a | +55.9% | 5 | 5 | | Eckington | $795,000 | +32.5% | n/a | 8 | 5 | | Georgetown | $1,895,000 | -19.4% | -6.4% | 1 | 5 | | Trinidad | $575,000 | n/a | n/a | 71 | 5 |
Row houses only, closed sales from BrightMLS, settled in September 2026. Median and DOM are this month's. MoM compares the median to August 2026; YoY to September 2025. Neighborhoods with fewer than 5 closings in the month are not shown; a change is n/a when the comparison month is under 5. Capitol Hill is the deepest sample at 19 sales, a median of $1,100,000, and seven days to contract. Brookland closed nine at $626,000 with a 40-day clock, the slowest of the active neighborhoods with a comparison. Kingman Park's 33.8% monthly jump sits on six sales, so it is a rotation in what sold, not a repricing of the block. Georgetown's five closings took one day at the median, and the 19.4% monthly drop is the mix of houses, not the market: five sales cannot move a median that far on their own.
