Capitol Hill is also a neighborhood in Washington, a big village, split halfway across, half in the NE and half in the SE quadrant of Washington, DC. Politicians work here, but people live here also.
On the north side, an iconic landmark is Union Station, with some 40 million people annually, shown here to represent the local perspective. This is a true transportation hub, with Amtrak, suburban rail, intercity bus and the Metro(subway) stations to converge. As of 2019, 2nd busiest station in the country.
As of February 2016, the H Street Trolley now gets people from (almost) Union Station to past the 15th St Starburst.
This view shows the station as you drive up in a cab, or Bikeshare or walk from Capitol Hill on left.
This month, 62 homes were sold in September 2019. Numbers dropped from last month and are lower yet than the five year average of 70. As summer ended and school started, activity surely dropped off.
Currently there are 219 homes are on the market, quite a bit higher than the previous month as sellers jumped back into the market, and quite a bit higher than the September average for the prior 5 years of 165. More inventory equals more opportunity.
We are at 2.9 Months of Supply, which is a little higher than last month and higher than the 5 years average of 2.1 months of supply. Numbers are up a bit from earlier in the year giving those buyers who are looking to buy a home in this neighborhood a bit more choice.
September prices were a little higher than last month to a $682,450 sold price, this is still over the the 5 year average of $614,790. Obviously there is more demand than inventory. Growth continues, but this zip includes emerging areas as well.
Homes were sold in 12 days in September which is a little less than the previous month. The market cooled a bit, something normal for this time of year. This continues to be quite a bit lower than the 5 year average of 34 days, the market is hot.
No room for buyers in Septmeber, with the ratio of sold price to original list price maintaining at 99.3%, the average for the prior 5 years is 99.8%.
This neighborhood comprises several subneighborhoods, from the brand new NOMA construction, to Trinidad and Union Market (itself a new mecca) and trendy H Street. As well as the tried and true, Capitol Hill and Union Station.This zip code ranked #27 in Washingtonian Magazines Great Places To Live 2019 issue, which ranked the 100 priciest zip codes in the greater Washington DC metro area. With confidence, expect this zip to move up the chart in the next year(s) as the NOMA/Union Market continue to grow and the demand is challenged to be met.
