<\/figure>\n

Washington, D.C.,<\/span><\/a> home prices fell 2 percent in March from a year earlier, with the typical home selling for nearly $487,500. The last time prices fell year over year in the District was July 2014. Sales surged 14.3 percent over the same period as buyers snapped up new listings. <\/span><\/p>\n

Single-family homes and a small number of two-to-four-unit buildings led the price decline, falling 3.2 percent and 26.8 percent respectively. Townhome prices were up 3.3 percent and condos up 0.6 percent year over year.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe price decline feels like more of an anomaly than a trend,\u201d Redfin agent <\/span>Sam Khosh<\/span><\/a> said. \u201cWe\u2019re still in a highly competitive market with desirable properties getting upward of 10 offers and going for well over asking price. Prices are continuing to appreciate in nearly all segments and neighborhoods.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

It is too early to tell whether or not price declines will be a permanent feature of the 2016 market. But early evidence suggests not: median list prices continue to rise (up 6.8 percent from a year ago) and more than a third of properties in the District sold above list price in March (same as last year). \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Washington,<\/figure>\n

With more homeowners planting new for-sale signs this spring, the number of properties on the market was up 6.2 percent from a year earlier. Still, buyers had little to chose from– the city had only a two-month supply of homes for sale, well below the six months that signals a balanced market. For historical perspective, only half as many homes were for sale this March than in March 2010. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"DC<\/figure>\n

Across the broader <\/span>D.C., Maryland and Virginia<\/span><\/a> region, the median sale price increased 1.4 percent from a year earlier to $355,000. Sales increased 0.6 percent year over year. <\/span><\/p>\n

The number of homes for sale fell nearly 5 percent, despite a 16.6 percent increase in new listings compared to a year ago. The typical home found a buyer in about a month and more than a third of properties were off the market in two weeks or less. <\/span><\/p>\n

Hot Neighborhoods<\/h3>\n

Prices jumped the most in some of D.C.\u2019s most-affordable neighborhoods east of the river. Despite double-digit increases in <\/span>Benning Heights\/Capitol View\/Marshall Heights<\/span><\/a> (42.2%), <\/span>Congress Heights<\/span><\/a> (39.5%) and <\/span>Fairlawn\/Twining\/Randle Highlands\/Penn Branch<\/span><\/a> (26.8%), the median sale price in each of these neighborhoods was about $260,000. <\/span><\/p>\n

Prices fell in <\/span>Foggy Bottom\/West End<\/span><\/a> (-38.1%), <\/span>Woodley Park<\/span><\/a> (-35.5 %) and <\/span>Foxhall\/Palisades\/Spring Valley\/Wesley Heights<\/span><\/a> (-26.6%).<\/span><\/p>\n

LeDroit Park<\/span><\/a> was the fastest-moving neighborhood for the second month in a row, with the typical home finding a buyer in just seven days, followed by <\/span>AU Park\/Tenleytown <\/span><\/a>(eight days) and <\/span>Capitol Hill<\/span><\/a> (10 days). <\/span><\/p>\n
