Early Fall 2025

As the last days of summer wane and early fall sneaks in, it’s a good time to look at the local Dupont Circle real estate market in Washington, DC. We now have sales date for the most recent four month stretch, from May through August of 2025. This is typically a peak period of market activity. August in particular was quite robust this year.

There were 25 sales over the past four months in Dupont Circle, with nine of those closings occurring in August alone. The average days on market (DOM) ranged from zero to 129 days during the four month period, with an average of 31. That shows an uptick in buyer eagerness comparted to the 48 days on market for the recent mid-year trends.

The average sales price in Dupont Circle during this period was a solid $1,667, 256, and the median list-to-sales ratio was a very impressive 97.32 percent of asking. The highest sales percentage was for 1620 Swann Street, a nicely renovated Victorian townhouse that listed for $995,000 before being bid up to $1,2000,000, equaling 120.60 percent of the original price. This was also one of the fastest sales during this time period, receiving an accepted offer in just three days.

Given the pronounced spike in activity during the month of August, there is likely to be a carry-over into September. Also worth noting is the recent Fed decision to lower the benchmark interest rate by a quarter percentage point which should have as positive impact on prospective buyer confidence. As always, please don’t hesitate to reach out for a personal real estate consultation.
