Neighborhood Pulse: Truxton Circle Deepens to -18.2%, Georgetown Reaches -11%, Hill East Surges at +15.6%
66 row home sales closed this week. Truxton Circle dropped 9.9% month over month and is now off 18.2% year over year. Georgetown's correction deepened to -11.0% as the week's biggest sale, a $4.6M cash transaction, landed at 94% of ask. Hill East is running at +15.6% year over year on 48 trailing sales.
This Week's Pulse
66 row home sales closed in DC in the week ending June 8. The headline is Truxton Circle: the rolling 12-month median dropped from $710K to $640K, a 9.9% decline in a single week on 27 trailing sales. The year-over-year reading moved from -8.4% to -18.2% simultaneously. DOM extended from 40 to 43 days and the list-to-sale ratio is at 91.1%. That combination -- price down, time up, ratio compressed -- is not ambiguous. The Truxton correction has accelerated.
On the other end: Lanier Heights moved from $1.5M to $1.6M this week, +6.6% month over month. The year-over-year reading is now +47.0%, up from +37.9% last week. The sample is 5 sales, which is small enough to note but consistent enough to take seriously. Four consecutive weeks of directional agreement is not statistical noise. The constrained blocks between Adams Morgan and Columbia Heights are absorbing buyer demand in a way the broader corridor is not.
Georgetown's correction is now reaching the trophy tier. The week's largest row home sale in the city was 2715 N St NW at $4.6M cash, landing at 94.0% of the $4.895M ask after 29 days on market. Cash buyers at the top of Georgetown's range are negotiating discounts in a neighborhood running at -11.0% year over year on 118 trailing sales. When the correction reaches that price point with that buyer profile, it is confirmed across the market stack.
Hill East held steady at $982K with DOM compressing from 18 to 16 days and the list-to-sale ratio at 98.7% on 48 trailing sales. Shaw gained 1.8% month over month to $1.15M and the DOM tightened to 21 days. Mount Pleasant's 5-day DOM and 100% list-to-sale ratio remain unchanged. The supply-constrained neighborhoods are not participating in the corridor correction. The data is separating the market into two distinct populations.
Top Movers
Lanier Heights $1.60M, +47.0% YoY, +6.6% MoM. DOM 20, L2S 97.2%. Small sample caution applies at n=5. But five consecutive readings moving in the same direction over six weeks is not noise. The blocks between Adams Morgan and Columbia Heights have structural supply limits that the corridor neighborhoods do not. Buyers with capital and a specific preference for that location are showing up consistently. When supply is fixed and buyer interest is persistent, this is what the data produces.
Hill East $982K, +15.6% YoY. DOM 16, L2S 98.7%. 48 trailing sales. The strongest large-sample YoY reading on the eastside this week. DOM compressed 2 days from last week's reading. Buyers who want Capitol Hill's historic character but cannot compete at $1.1M are finding Hill East at $982K and closing. The gap between the two neighborhoods on a median price basis has narrowed from 14% to 11% over the last six weeks. That compression continues.
Dupont Circle $1.78M, +12.2% YoY. DOM 19, L2S 97.2%. 56 trailing sales. Price slipped 1.0% month over month, which is within rounding tolerance on a mixed condo and rowhouse market. The durable number is the year-over-year on 56 sales. Dupont's YoY has been positive every week since March. Supply constraint does what supply constraint does. The 2-day DOM improvement from last week suggests the market is incrementally tightening.
Truxton Circle $640K, -18.2% YoY, -9.9% MoM. DOM 43, L2S 91.1%. 27 trailing sales. The deepest single-week price decline in the dataset. The rolling median has now dropped $70K in seven days. Sellers in Truxton who are pricing for 2024 outcomes are getting 2026 results: 43 days on market, 91 cents on the dollar, and a year-over-year reading that has worsened by 10 points in a month. Buyers have real leverage here. Renovation budgets and exit assumptions need to reflect that.
Georgetown $1.82M, -11.0% YoY, -0.8% MoM. DOM 15, L2S 97.8%. 118 trailing sales. The correction is deepening in the year-over-year data despite a fast market by DOM standards. 15-day DOM and 97.8% list-to-sale are not distressed metrics. But -11.0% YoY on 118 sales is a material correction signal. These two facts coexist: the market clears quickly, and prices are lower than they were a year ago. When the week's largest cash sale lands at 94% of ask after 29 days, both facts are visible in the same transaction.

Notable Sales
2715 N St NW (Georgetown): $4,600,000. Cash. 29 days on market. 7BR/5BA. The week's highest-priced row home sale in DC came in at 94.0% of the $4.895M ask after nearly a month on market. Georgetown is running at -11.0% year over year on 118 trailing sales. This transaction is the correction data point made concrete: a cash buyer at the top of the market's range, willing to move quickly, still negotiated a $295,000 discount. The correction is not confined to entry-level product. It reaches $4.6M when a neighborhood is in a year-over-year decline.
324 E Street NE (Capitol Hill): $2,275,000. 103.4% of $2.2M ask. 8 days on market. 4BR, 3,468 sqft, built 1890. One of the week's strongest over-ask outcomes. Capitol Hill's median is $1.1M on 333 trailing sales. This block performance at $2.275M at 103.4% of ask in 8 days tells you the aggregate number does not describe individual outcomes on premium blocks. The market is not one thing. Core Capitol Hill addresses still see competition.
1417 Columbia St NW (Shaw): $750,000. Cash. 1 day on market. 3BR, 1,454 sqft. A full renovation play -- the listing language was direct about the condition: bring your architect, bring your contractor. Someone did, the same day, at full ask. Shaw's 21-day DOM reflects the aggregate market. The renovation tier inside that aggregate moves faster than the headline number suggests. When a seller prices accurately for condition, capital finds it. Shaw at $750K for a gut renovation represents one of the narrower gaps between entry price and stabilized value in the DC row home market right now.
Bottom Line
The market is sorting itself cleanly. Neighborhoods with structural supply limits -- Lanier Heights, Mount Pleasant, Dupont Circle, Hill East -- are positive year over year on credible sample sizes. Neighborhoods where inventory can accumulate and buyer profiles have shifted -- Georgetown, Truxton Circle, Logan Circle, Adams Morgan -- are running negative. These are not coincidental pairings. The through-line is supply: where you cannot build more and cannot easily release more from existing stock, prices hold. Where you can, they do not. Truxton Circle's 9.9% single-week drop and Georgetown's cash buyer accepting a $295K haircut are the same mechanism at different price points. The next 30 days will confirm whether this separation widens or whether summer demand absorbs enough inventory to stabilize the corridor neighborhoods.
