If you've been watching the Washington DC rowhouse market and waiting for something that actually stops you in your tracks — 2310 1st St NW in Bloomingdale is it. This is a fully renovated Victorian-era brick rowhouse that does something almost impossible: it preserved every bit of the historic character that makes DC homes special, then rebuilt the interior as a legitimate luxury residence.

The most competitive price bracket in the DC and Maryland real estate market just shifted. Where last week’s bidding wars were concentrated above $800K, this week’s Compass survey of 121 DMV agents shows the fiercest competition has dropped into the $401K–$800K range — directly where most Prince George’s County, Hyattsville, College Park, and Riverdale Park buyers are shopping. If you’re in that range, the playbook has changed. Here’s exactly what the data says and what to do about it.

In today’s Hyattsville market, where mortgage rates are hovering near 6.5% and buyers are extremely selective, a vacant, unstaged, overpriced home will sit — no matter how renovated it is. That’s exactly what happened at 3404 Lancer Drive in Hyattsville, MD 20782. After six months on the market with another agent, three price reductions, and a 4% seller credit offer with zero takers, the seller called me. Within two weeks of relisting with the right pricing, staging, and marketing strategy, we generated two competing offers and sold the home for $488,500 — $13,500 above the asking price.

Just Listed in Bowie! 12308 Melling Lane is a 3-bedroom, 2-bath, all-one-level ranch home offering 1,856 square feet of living space — including a rare converted family room, screened-in porch, and large backyard. It's being sold as-is as part of an estate at a price that reflects the condition. For buyers who want more square footage than most comparable homes on the street and are comfortable with a straightforward as-is purchase, this is a fantastic opportunity in an established Bowie neighborhood where homes regularly sell in the $480K–$535K range.

If you’re searching for a move-in-ready home in Northwest DC with Metro access, a deep backyard, and two-car parking, 408 Ingraham Street NW is worth your attention. This fully renovated four-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom Federal townhome is now listed at $874,900 in Petworth’s 20011 zip code. At 2,370 square feet across three finished levels, it offers the kind of space, finish quality, and location that buyers competing in this market are specifically searching for.

A Coming Soon campaign lets you build buyer demand, collect real market feedback, and protect your negotiating position — all before your home officially hits the market. In today’s DC metro and Route 1 corridor market, where buyers are competing for limited inventory, this strategy can be the difference between a good sale and a great one. And new survey data shows more than 80% of prospective sellers are interested in doing exactly this.

If you're searching for a house to rent in College Park, MD — especially a larger single-family home with real square footage, outdoor space, and commuter-friendly location — this post covers what the rental market looks like in 2026, how this property compares to what's currently available, and what you need to know before you apply.

Federal workforce reductions have introduced real uncertainty into parts of Prince George's County's housing market in 2026 — but the picture is far more nuanced than the headlines suggest. The county is not one market. Some sub-markets along the Route 1 corridor are largely insulated because their buyer base skews toward DC commuters, University of Maryland employees, and private sector workers rather than federal employees. Others — particularly the areas closest to large federal installations — are seeing extended days on market and softer prices. If you're buying or selling in PG County right now, knowing which side of that line your neighborhood sits on is the most important piece of information you can have.

1225 Gallatin St NE is a 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath semi-detached brick row home in Riggs Park, Northeast Washington DC, listed at $654,900. Fully gut-renovated in 2017, this three-level corner unit offers 1,692 square feet of finished living space, a gourmet kitchen with Calacatta marble waterfall countertop, coffered ceilings, a fully finished basement suite, and a private 2-car driveway — all less than one mile from Fort Totten Metro Station.

If you’re searching for homes for sale in Hyattsville, Maryland, or trying to decide whether now is the right time to sell, here’s the short answer: Hyattsville remains one of the most compelling values in the entire DC metro area. The median home price sits between $390,000 and $430,000 — a fraction of what comparable walkable neighborhoods cost in DC proper or Montgomery County — and a transformational light rail line is less than two years from opening. That combination of current affordability and incoming transit infrastructure is exactly what smart buyers and sellers should be paying attention to right now.

If you're searching for homes in Cheverly, Maryland right now, 5807 Carlyle St is one of the most compelling properties to hit the market in 2025. This expanded Colonial checks boxes that are genuinely hard to find in Cheverly's tight-knit, low-inventory market: over 2,600 square feet of finished living space, 4 bedrooms, a showpiece kitchen, a fully finished basement — and a 10-minute walk to the Cheverly Metro station on the Orange Line.
