As DC slips into holiday mode, the real estate market is doing the same. The weekend before Christmas brings a quieter open house scene, with fewer than 100 homes available to tour across the District. While options may be limited, the slower pace and lighter crowds make this a great time to explore what’s on the market—and maybe find the right place just in time for the holidays. Check out some of our favorite options below and to see the full DC Open House list, click here.
