Neighborhood Pulse: Trinidad Slides to -16.5%, Hill East Climbs to +18.5%, Georgetown's Top Sale Lands at 88% of Ask

This Week's Pulse

57 row home sales closed across the tracked DC neighborhoods in the week ending June 15. Trinidad is the story. The rolling 12-month median fell from $632K to $588K, a 6.9% drop in a single week on 56 trailing sales, and the year-over-year reading deepened from -7.2% to -16.5% at the same time. Days on market held at 47 and the list-to-sale ratio sits at 94.2%. The recent closings explain it: three of the last six settlements landed under $500K, the lowest at $237K. The correction in Trinidad is not a blip. The mix is shifting toward the bottom of the range, and the median is following it down.

Hill East moved the other way. The median holds at exactly $1.0M with a year-over-year reading of +18.5%, up from +17.6% last week, on 49 trailing sales. DOM is 15 days and the list-to-sale ratio is 99.0%. This is the strongest large-sample positive in the dataset. Buyers who want Capitol Hill's historic blocks without the $1.1M entry point keep finding Hill East and closing fast. The gap between the two medians has compressed to roughly 9% and continues to narrow.

Burleith-Hillandale shows the most counterintuitive line on the board: a median off 27.2% year over year on 33 sales, paired with a 7-day DOM and a 99.1% list-to-sale ratio. Prices sit well below last year, and homes still clear in a week at near-full ask. Buyers have repriced the neighborhood, and at the lower number the product moves immediately. Georgetown runs the same pattern at a higher altitude: -8.1% year over year on 124 sales against a 14-day DOM. The correction lives in the annual comparison, not the velocity.

The supply-constrained neighborhoods are holding. Mount Pleasant sits at +6.2% year over year with a 5-day DOM and a 100% list-to-sale ratio. Shaw climbed to +6.2% on 54 sales. Dupont Circle stayed positive at +3.0%, though that reading compressed from +9.4% last week as the trailing window rolled forward, while its DOM tightened to 15 days. Where inventory cannot accumulate, prices are flat to up. Where it can, the year-over-year numbers run negative. The data keeps separating the market into those two populations.

Top Movers

Trinidad $588K, -16.5% YoY, -6.9% MoM. DOM 47, L2S 94.2%. 56 trailing sales. The deepest move in the dataset. The rolling median has dropped $87K over two weeks as low-end closings accumulate, three of the last six under $500K. Sellers pricing to 2024 comps are getting 2026 results: 47 days on market and 94 cents on the dollar. Buyers have real leverage here, and renovation budgets need to assume the lower exit, not the optimistic one.

Hill East $1.0M, +18.5% YoY. DOM 15, L2S 99.0%. 49 trailing sales. The strongest large-sample positive on the board, and it improved again from +17.6% last week. The eastside bid is persistent. Capitol Hill at $1.1M pushes priced-out buyers a few blocks east, and Hill East absorbs them at a discount that keeps shrinking. The median crossed $1.0M and held it.

Burleith-Hillandale $1.45M, -27.2% YoY. DOM 7, L2S 99.1%. 33 trailing sales. The deepest year-over-year decline at a credible sample, and the fastest-clearing market in the upper tier at the same time. The reconciliation is supply meeting a reset price: once the neighborhood repriced, demand showed up inside a week. A 7-day DOM at 99% of ask describes a corrected market, not a broken one.

Dupont Circle $1.74M, +3.0% YoY. DOM 15, L2S 97.5%. 58 trailing sales. Still positive year over year, though the reading compressed from +9.4% as a strong week from last spring rolled into the trailing comparison. The durable signal is the DOM: 19 to 17 to 15 over three weeks. The market is tightening even as the annual figure normalizes.

Georgetown $1.84M, -8.1% YoY. DOM 14, L2S 98.0%. 124 trailing sales. The correction moderated from -10.3% last week, while the market still clears in two weeks. The headline transaction cut against that speed: the week's biggest sale, 3122 N St NW, closed at $4.25M cash, 87.6% of a $4.85M ask, after 42 days. Fast median, soft ceiling.

Notable Sales

3122 N St NW (Georgetown): $4,250,000. Cash. 42 days on market. 4BR, 4,550 sqft. The week's highest row home sale in DC closed at 87.6% of its $4.85M ask, a $600,000 discount on an all-cash deal. Last week's trophy sale, a $4.6M Georgetown closing, landed at 94% of ask. This week the gap widened to 12 points. When the correction reaches the $4M-plus tier and a cash buyer still negotiates $600,000 off, the softness at the top of Georgetown is no longer theoretical.

1626 Hobart St NW (Mount Pleasant): $2,200,105. Cash. 5 days on market. 4BR, 2,350 sqft. The week's strongest premium over-ask outcome: 116.1% of a $1.895M list, more than $305,000 above ask, in cash, in five days. Mount Pleasant runs at +6.2% year over year with a 5-day median DOM and a 100% list-to-sale ratio. This is what a supply-constrained neighborhood produces when a well-located home reaches the market. The aggregate number is earned.

1435 A St SE (Capitol Hill): $1,135,000. Cash. 8 days on market. 4BR. The highest over-ask ratio in the dataset: 119.5% of a $950,000 list, $185,000 above ask in cash. Capitol Hill's median is $1.10M on 338 trailing sales, but the aggregate does not describe the premium blocks. One corner of the market is still bidding addresses up by six figures in a week. Another corner, two miles north in Trinidad, is taking 94 cents on the dollar. Same city, same seven days, opposite ends.

Bottom Line

The split is the story, and it is widening. Neighborhoods with fixed supply, Mount Pleasant, Hill East, Dupont Circle, and Shaw, are flat to positive year over year on real sample sizes. Neighborhoods where inventory accumulates or buyer demand has thinned, Trinidad, Burleith-Hillandale, Georgetown, and Columbia Heights, are negative, several of them steeply. Trinidad's 6.9% single-week drop and a $600,000 cash discount in Georgetown are the same force at two price points: when supply is not constrained, the buyer sets the terms. The week produced a 119.5% over-ask in Capitol Hill and an 87.6% under-ask in Georgetown inside the same seven days. There is no single DC market to describe right now. There are two, and the distance between them is the only trend that matters.
