Year to date, the median settled price for a home in DC is $540,000. (current national median home price is $244,100.) That DC median price includes rowhomes, detached homes, condos, and co-ops. The current median price for detached homes in the District of Columbia is $930,962.
That said, it is surprising that this relatively modestly priced detached single family home defied GDoN commenters’ expectations of selling the first week on the market.
It is an interesting time in DC real estate, where we’ve seen an intense period of sales activity for the past several years, and subsequently corresponding decreased affordability. We’re starting to again see more articles about the next up and coming areas, as the up and coming areas from five years ago have, in many cases, begun solidly arriving, at least from a price perspective. This property is a great example of a home in a location further from downtown, yet at the edge of active commercial development and the Brookland neighborhood, which has seen significant appreciation and market activity recently.
The listing agents for this sale were Kymber Lovett-Menkiti and Virginia Gergoff with Keller Williams Capital Properties (per disclosure above, the same brokerage as the writer). Keith Hawkins with Exit Bennett Realty represented the Buyer.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
