“Working with LaShanda was nothing short of exceptional. Our custom build involved many complex steps, and she guided us seamlessly from start to finish over nearly a year. We often joked she was both our agent and our lawyer because of how thoroughly she protected our interests and navigated every detail. From the beginning, she understood our vision and elevated it, connecting us with the right people and introducing possibilities we did not even know existed. She consistently went above and beyond, whether holding the measuring tape, taking photos, coordinating with vendors, or ensuring alignment across the entire project. She always had our best interests at heart. Her negotiation skills were outstanding, especially with change orders and fees. This is my second home purchase with LaShanda, and she continues to exceed expectations. She is truly exceptional, and I highly recommend her.”

Inventory in Congress Heights has been tightening compared with last year, with 97 homes on the market in March 2026, down 14.91% year over year. Even so, activity is solid, as 67 new listings came up and 54 went under contract, a 35% jump in pending sales from a year earlier. Faster contract flow is also evident in the median 91 days on market, which is 12.5% lower than last year.
Prices are adjusting as buyers and sellers react to this mix of fewer homes and quicker deals. The typical home value now sits at about $387,950, down 0.53% from last year and 3.01% from the prior month, while the median list price edged up to $405,000, a 1.28% monthly increase. Compared with the broader Washington city market, where the typical home value is around $678,000, Congress Heights remains a more affordable option, and only about 15% of recent sales closed above the list price, with an average sale-to-list ratio of roughly 0.97.
Looking ahead to April 2026, typical values are projected to ease slightly to about $381,925 even as the projected median list price nudges up to roughly $407,550 and inventory is expected to move to about 100 homes. With the local market still tilted toward sellers, as shown by a seller's market gauge reading of 18, both buyers and sellers in Congress Heights can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting them with the right real estate agent for their goals.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
