Key Findings

  1. The primary market signal is the median sold price at 299,000, which anchors recent transaction value and should be treated as the most reliable indicator of current market worth for SFR and condo properties in ZIP 23222.

  2. The gap between the median listing price of 284,995 and the median sold price of 299,000 may indicate pricing friction or seller willingness to accept offers above ask in selected cases; this dynamic appears to signal negotiated outcomes rather than broad discounting.

  3. Liquidity appears slower based on the median days on market of 218, which suggests extended marketing periods and moderate sales velocity rather than rapid turnover; elevated inventory relative to sales activity may be contributing to this pacing.

  4. Market context shows prices and rents trending up—price YoY trend: up and rent YoY trend: up—while interest rate pressure is moderate (caution); investors and owner-occupiers should factor rising rents (median market rent 1,449) alongside interest-rate sensitivity when evaluating near-term acquisitions.
