Key Findings

  1. The primary indicator of market value is the $544,000 median sold price, which represents recent transaction activity and should drive valuation and underwriting assumptions for SFR and condo deals in ZIP 23226.
  2. There is a notable gap between the $715,000 median listing price and the $544,000 median sold price, which may indicate pricing friction as seller expectations outpace realized transactions; moderate pricing disconnect suggests careful comparative analysis is warranted before listing or making offers.
  3. Liquidity appears subdued: the median days on market 270 is long and suggests slower sales velocity despite a sample that indicates relatively constrained active supply; neutral market temperature and this extended time-to-contract may require concessions or more targeted marketing to close deals.
  4. Market momentum shows prices and rents rising—price year-over-year trend up and rent year-over-year trend up—while borrowing conditions show interest rate pressure moderate; rising rents strengthen rental demand cases, but moderate interest rate pressure advises caution on leverage and underwriting stress tests.
