Late Summer 2026

Dupont Circle is in the throes of yet another hot and humid summer. The steaming temperatures are matched only by the heat of the real estate market, with buyers eager to claim a piece of this vibrant and picturesque neighborhood.

The average townhome closing in July was $2,190,000 with a list-to-sales ratio of 99.41 percent of asking. The days on market was 10 less than this time last year, further evidence of a sellers' market. The top sale was $3,250,000 for a grand home at 1716 Q Street NW. Built in 1890 and designed by Thomas Franklin Schneider, the four-bedroom residence with 3,473 square feet of living space is part of the famous Schneider Row Houses on both sides of the 1700 block, built between 1889 and 1892.

The average price for condos in Dupont Circle was $1,143,929 with a list to sales ratio of 97.90 percent. The days on market was just four days more than last year. The top transaction was Unit #32 at 1632 S Street NW with three beds, two baths, and a closing price of $1,600,000. Also notable was Unit #3 at The Sterling at 1517 P Street NW. The penthouse duplex at a classic 1900 Victorian building was extensively renovated by Abdo Development before entering the market at $1,200,000 and selling for $1,260,000 - $60K over the asking price.

There are also several notable townhomes and condos that traded quietly, off-market during this time frame. The very active market will continue throughout August and September, and it's important to optimize pricing, presentation, marketing strategies, and relationships in order to rise above the competition.
