The Homes.com analysis found that the housing market in Washington, D.C., and the surrounding markets in Maryland and Virginia has followed roughly the same trajectory during President Trump's first 100 days as it did during the same period in 2024. This supports the data Homes.com released in February following federal work cuts in the region.

As of April 13, houses remained on the market for an average of 90 days in the D.C.-Maryland-Virginia (DMV) and for 95 days in Washington D.C. specifically, compared to 100 days and 95 days, respectively, the year before. According to Homes.com, active listings in the area have increased slightly, but remain on par with national trends. In the DMV, the report found that the median sold price for a home is $595,000, up from last year's $575,000, and properties are selling above asking.

Despite economic turbulence over the last 100 days, the luxury housing market in Washington, D.C., and the surrounding markets in Maryland and Virginia are seeing strong momentum, with many homebuyers purchasing their properties in cash to avoid mortgage rates and other factors of the home buying process. According to Homes.com, as of April 28, there were more than 400 properties priced at $3 million or more in Washington, D.C., and the surrounding markets in Maryland and Virginia that are publicly for sale, pending contract, or under contract.

Insight from Homes.com noted that while housing market data in Washington D.C. and the surrounding markets in Maryland and Virginia is on par with national trends, a look across neighborhoods and price ranges reveals that buyers and sellers are reacting to the first 100 days of the Trump administration in different ways. Some agents told Homes.com that the signs this spring are optimistic, while others referred to April as a "whiplash" in terms of mortgage rates. Homes.com learned that as of April 10, the average 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage was 6.62% – the lowest average since December – it later increased to 6.83%, a rate that is sidelining buyers.

The data shared in this report could change slightly once all home sales are accounted for and more policies and decisions continue to take shape over the next few months.

Melina Duggal, Senior Director of Market Analytics at CoStar Group and Homes.com, is available for interviews to provide insights on this data and the residential real estate market in general.
