Judy's clients benefit from his ability to navigate the current market dynamics. In Washington, DC, the housing market is currently somewhat competitive, with a median sale price of approximately $695,000, down just 0.77% year over year. Homes are spending a median of 49 days on the market, and sales activity has increased by 7.9% from the previous year. Homes are closing for an average of 99% of their asking price, and about 26.6% sell above list price. However, about 31.2% of listings experience a price reduction, indicating that buyers remain selective and incorrect pricing can lead to longer market times. The most desirable homes can still sell for roughly 1% above asking and go pending in about 21 days.
For buyers, the current market may provide more time to evaluate available properties, but correctly priced homes in sought-after neighborhoods can still attract competition. Sellers should avoid assuming that every property will receive multiple offers and instead build their strategy around current neighborhood-level sales. Judy's experience and data-driven approach help clients understand both the immediate transaction and the long-term implications of their decisions.
Based in Washington, DC, Judy serves clients across all price points throughout the District and surrounding DMV communities. His track record reflects sustained production across changing market conditions and a broad range of residential property types. Through Washington Fine Properties, he continues to represent individual homeowners, first-time buyers, luxury clients, and property investors with an emphasis on preparation, responsiveness, and strategic insight.
