Neighborhood Pulse: Burleith Drops 16%, Capitol Hill Moves in Hours
Burleith-Hillandale dropped 15.8% month over month. Truxton Circle is down 28.5% year over year. Capitol Hill moved in hours. Full snapshot of all 44 DC neighborhoods.
This Week's Pulse
Most of DC is holding. Three neighborhoods saw prices rise month over month, nine fell, and 32 barely moved. Read that as a market pausing, not breaking. The more significant story is supply: 18 neighborhoods lost active listings this week. That thinning inventory heading into spring is not neutral. Buyers who wait for prices to soften may find fewer options to choose from instead.
The divergence across neighborhoods is widening. Dupont Circle is up 21.3% year over year. Lanier Heights is up 26.4%. Truxton Circle is down 28.5%. These are not small rounding errors on a flat market. They are evidence of a city sorting itself by demand: certain locations are holding value with conviction, while others are still working through a price discovery process that has not finished.
Supply decides the next move. It always does.
