FEBRUARY Real Estate Market Capitol Hill
FEBRUARY 2021 Neighborhood Numbers are IN for the Capitol Hill Real Estate Market!
Mortgage rates ticked slightly up, but continue to hover around 3% — in Feb 2021 we averaged 3.17% compared to 3.50% in Feb 2020. This slight upward movement in 2021 (predicted by experts) has not yet dampened buyer demand, which remains strong especially in and around the District. We are seeing some overbidding for select homes in select areas, but our Buyer Agents continue to pound the pavement to help their buyers find success in the market.
