Fall 2026

As we move further into Fall, the real estate market in Dupont Circle is showing a resilience that defies not only national trends but those in the DMV region as well.

Nationwide, pending sales dropped 7.3 percent from August to September and 11.5 percent year-over-year. Median list prices in the Northeast fell 3.8 percent year-over-year and 4.3 percent from August to September. And in Washington DC Metro, the median list price fell 4.6 percent to $572,150.

Adding further context is the climb in mortgage rates to over seven percent, a direction that isn’t likely to reverse soon. But despite the market tightening across the country, our own small neighborhood of Dupont Circle continues to hold its ground.

While buyers were taking longer to make to decision about townhouses in our community at 76 days slower from August to September, the eventual list-to-sales ratio was very strong at 105.33 percent of asking. The median closing was a robust $1,757,867 with a range of $1,146,000 to $3,250,000 for 10 recent transactions.

Condo sales in Dupont Circle also showed strength with a list-to-sales ratio of 97.77 percent and buyers making a move 18 days faster than August. The price range was $581,530 to $3,500,000 with the top sale occurring at the historic 2029 Connecticut where a beautifully renovated three-bedroom, three-bath unit sold for the full asking price of $3.5 million.
