What we'd want to know before pursuing this home, in plain English.
The price
At $1,299,000, this home sits almost exactly at the area's 2024 median sale price of $1,300,000, making it a well-calibrated entry point. The last recorded sale on this property was $1,085,000 in late 2023, so the current ask reflects meaningful appreciation in a short period. For buyers, that context helps frame what the market has been willing to pay for homes like this one nearby.
How fast homes move here
Sale counts in the area have tightened from 381 homes in 2024 to 126 so far in 2026, while the median price has held close to the $1.26-$1.30 million range across all three periods. That kind of price stability alongside fewer available homes typically means well-priced properties move without sitting long. Coming in early on a coming-soon listing can give you a real advantage.
Why the location works
Situated in American University Park, this address puts Friendship Heights Metro and American University each about a mile away, making car-free commutes genuinely practical. Fort Bayard Park is an easy walk for fresh air and outdoor time. Families will appreciate the Janney, Deal, and Jackson-Reed school pyramid, one of DC's most sought-after public school sequences.
