RBI's Detailed Report for zip 20002 shows housing inventory has dropped a remarkable 47.75% -- down from 178 in October of 2011 to 98 in October 2012.  Generally, when housing inventory declines buyers must compete for fewer available properties leading to an increase in prices and shorter days on market.  As the days on market decreased in October the average sold price in zip code 20002 increased 19.49%.

The Detailed Report also provides a breakdown of sales by property type. The highest sales activity in September was for 3BR and 4+BR townhouses.

  • 3BR houses: in October 2012 there were 26 sales of three-bedroom townhouses in zip code 20002 which sold for an average price of $422,091-- an increase of 7.73% over October 2011. 
  • 4+BR houses: there were 14 sales of houses with four or more bedrooms which sold for an average price of $625,521 -- a price increase of 14.34% over last year.

Zip code 20002 includes a very large area that contains H Street, Capitol Hill North, NoMa, Eckington, Edgewood and Trinidad.  It is therefore important to remember sales statistics can vary greatly within a given zipcode.  To illustrate this point I've included below brief statistics for the H Street corridor area to demonstrate the range of values possible.  Contact me for a custom report on your specific neighborhood, your property size and type.
