Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Congress Heights is seeing plenty of homes available, with about 177 active listings in this rolling three-month view. New listings are slightly higher than a year ago, while homes sold are down nearly 21 percent, pointing to slower contract flow. Pending sales are just modestly above last year, so contracts are not keeping pace with the level of inventory.
Prices are moving differently than the pace of sales. The typical home value is up more than 26 percent year over year, even as the median list price is a bit lower than a year ago, suggesting buyers are negotiating within a wider range. Compared with Washington overall, Congress Heights still has more approachable pricing, with values far below the citywide median.
Conditions strongly favor buyers right now, with months of supply jumping to about 12, far above the city’s 6.6 months and much higher than a year ago in the neighborhood. Homes are taking longer to sell, with the median days on market rising to roughly 117 days, yet the average sale-to-list ratio is holding near 98 percent and about 10 percent of homes still close above asking. With these mixed signals, both buyers and sellers in Congress Heights can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting with an experienced local agent to navigate strategy and pricing.
Congress Heights offers residents a welcoming, community-oriented neighborhood with convenient local amenities, green spaces, and easy access to transit, all within an affordable, growing urban environment.
Congress Heights offers a distinct sense of community compared with many nearby parts of Washington, especially with its strong neighborhood identity and growing amenities east of the Anacostia River. Residents are close to downtown yet enjoy a more residential feel, with tree-lined streets, long-time homeowners, and new arrivals sharing the same blocks.
Local life centers around destinations like the Entertainment and Sports Arena, home to basketball, concerts, and community events. Outdoor options include Oxon Run Park and the Oxon Run Trail, where walkers and cyclists can connect with green space while staying close to the city. Families appreciate access to neighborhood schools such as Bard High School Early College DC and resources at the nearby Anacostia Neighborhood Library.
Congress Heights sits within easy reach of Anacostia, Navy Yard, and other parts of Washington via the Congress Heights Metrorail station. Ongoing public and private investments around St. Elizabeths East and neighboring Randle Highlands continue to shape the local housing market and create new opportunities for both longtime residents and newcomers.
With changing prices, new construction, and evolving transit and retail options, timing and preparation matter in Congress Heights. Whether you are planning to buy or sell, Agent Pronto can connect you with a knowledgeable local real estate agent to help you move with confidence.

Although this was a bitter sweet moment your professionalism, expert knowledge of the housing market, constant communication and guidance made this experience an easy and smooth transaction on our end. I’ll be sure to stay in contact and share your information with anyone looking for a realtor.”
“Diane is a wonderful agent. She is very professional, courteous and knowledgeable agent. Recommend her as a excellent agent that goes above and beyond to get the job done.”
“If you’re looking for an incredible realtor, Kase Evans is THE ONE! I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better realtor! As a first-time homebuyer, I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect, but Kase made the entire experience SO chill, smooth, and stress-free. What could have been an overwhelming process turned into such a great experience because I had someone genuinely in my corner every step of the way. Kase went above and beyond from start to finish. She was incredibly attentive, responsive, knowledgeable, and always on top of everything. Most importantly, I always felt like she had my back and genuinely cared about making sure I was taken care of. She made me feel comfortable asking questions, kept me informed throughout the process, and made buying my first home feel way less intimidating than I ever imagined. On top of being amazing at what she does, she’s also such a pleasure to talk to! She has a great personality, makes communication easy, and brings the perfect balance of professionalism and a personable, down-to-earth attitude. I never felt like just another client, and that meant so much to me. Buying your first home is a BIG deal, and having the right realtor makes all the difference. Kase absolutely knocked it out of the park! Her dedication, attention to detail, and genuine care for her clients are unmatched. I would recommend Kase Evans in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a realtor who will go to bat for you, keep your best interests at heart, and make the entire process as chill and enjoyable as possible. Thank you, Kase, for making my first-time homebuying experience such an amazing one! You’re an absolute rock star, and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to have in my corner. FIVE STARS, ALL DAY!”
“Ada Chan was a great realtor to work with! She made the home-buying process easy to understand from the very beginning and was transparent about all expenses, which made me feel confident and prepared throughout the process. She was also very responsive and always willing to answer my questions. I really appreciated her guidance and support while buying my new home. I would definitely recommend Ada to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and supportive realtor!”
“After much research and discussion, working with Marcus and Sia was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. They are a powerhouse team that seamlessly combines top-notch professionalism, deep market knowledge, and clear communication. Throughout our real estate journey, they were proactive, detail-oriented, and always a step ahead of any potential challenges. Marcus brought exceptional strategic focus and strong skills. They made a stressful process seamless and manageable for my parents as they sold their property. I felt supported, informed, and confident at every stage. I highly recommend Marcus and Sia to anyone looking for dedicated, top-tier real estate professionals! I am extremely grateful for what this team has done and am definitely keeping their contact info.”
“Barbara was fantastic! We met with Barbara approximately 2 months ago, and we had no intention of buying unless we found a fantastic deal. In this short time frame she was able to layout the buying process, find exactly what we were looking for, and get every box checked for us to move in to our new home. If you want someone knowledgeable, who is willing to get urgent tasks done and reply to any sort of request almost instantly (thanks again), you should consider Barbara for your go-to realtor!”
“This is the second time I’ve partnered with Ed at the Slavis Group, and I can say with no hesitation you will not find a more dedicated, attentive, and knowledgable team to support your real estate project. With Ed’s help it took less than a month to go from looking at investment properties in the DMV to closing on a house in Alexandria VA. In that time Ed and his team provided all the information I could possibly need, helped me find financing solutions, and negotiated one of the best real estate deals I’ve been a part of. 13 out of 10, would highly recommend!”
“I recently purchased a home. My realtor was Erin. She was the best. I had not dealt in real estate in a while. I was a bit nervous. Erin guided me through the process with great patience and professionalism. Her knowledge of the industry is top notch. She interacted with the seller agent, contractors, inspectors, closing agents, loan officers, et al. I was so fortunate to have her. She is GREAT!!!”
“It was an absolute pleasure working with Bryan. His knowledge of the area was instrumental in first helping us lock down a potential location. His expertise in all the inner facets of houses also helped us gain more information. Whenever we had potential options, his responsiveness was always above and beyond expectations. In between searches he would always preach an open door policy in asking questions. When we were looking over potential offers he would provide helpful guidance that eventually helped us find our home, which we love. We would highly recommend him in any future search.”
“We cannot say enough great things about our experience working with Robert Garcia. As first-time homebuyers, we honestly weren’t sure if homeownership was even possible for our family. After years of renting, we dreamed of moving into a nicer area, having more space for our two children, and beginning to build wealth through homeownership—but coming up with the money for a down payment and closing costs felt like an impossible hurdle. From the very beginning, Robert gave us confidence and a clear path forward. Incredibly, the second house we viewed was the one we ended up buying. Robert showed us the home in the morning, and by that afternoon we had a ratified contract. His ability to move quickly, strategize effectively, and negotiate on our behalf was truly remarkable. Robert successfully negotiated with the listing agent to have repairs completed and secured seller credits toward our closing costs. Even more impressive, the seller needed to close in just two weeks, and Robert worked seamlessly with his preferred Senior Mortgage Advisor, Paul, to ensure everything stayed on track. Together, they guided us through the FHA loan process, kept us informed every step of the way, and helped us achieve a clear-to-close well within the tight deadline. The results exceeded anything we thought possible. We came to the closing table with $0 out of pocket, received our earnest money deposit back, and additional state assistance funds were strategically utilized to cover one year of HOA fees and provide us with a one-year home warranty. What seemed impossible became reality because of Robert’s expertise, resourcefulness, and dedication. Throughout the entire process, Robert was honest, proactive, communicative, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive. He is a fantastic negotiator who genuinely cares about his clients and consistently goes above and beyond to deliver the best possible outcome. Every step of the process felt smooth, organized, and surprisingly stress-free because we knew we could trust him. Robert helped make our dream of owning our first home come true when we weren’t even sure it could happen. If you are considering buying or selling a home—whether now or in the future—we wholeheartedly recommend Robert Garcia. You will be hard-pressed to find a Realtor who is more dedicated, caring, and committed to his clients' success. Thank you, Robert, for making our family's dream a reality. We are forever grateful!”
“Awesome service”
“I can’t say enough great things about Erin and her team. I chose her because of her excellent reviews and her expertise in Northern Virginia, and she exceeded every expectation. She immediately understood what I needed, lined up showings quickly, and pointed out important details I would have missed on my own. Any time I found a property, she was on it — responsive, organized, and always one step ahead. Even after going under contract, she stayed fully engaged and supportive through closing. If you’re serious about buying a home, Erin is the one you want in your corner.”
“Mary worked with us throughout the process to purchase the perfect home. She explained any questions we had with genuine knowledge. Worked with the sellers to get the best price and advocated on our behalf.”
“D'Ann did an outstanding job assisting me with the purchase of my first home. Her expertise in the market area was truly impeccable which made me feel safe the entire step of the way. D'Ann is a very trusting, compassionate and caring person, I can't imagine going through this process without her. She was involved in all aspects of closing, walkthroughs, meetups with the builder, etc. From late night phone calls and text messages to long advice conversations in person I am truly thankful for D'Ann. I highly recommend her :)”
“Amanda Jones is an incredible real estate agent. She went so far above and beyond for us, on so many occasions, I actually felt guilty that our house didn’t sell for more so her commission would be higher (even though we came super close to our asking price)! We moved across the country before the house was even on the market. She sent us daily updates on showings, how many clicks the site was getting, turned off our outside water when the weather report said it was going to be freezing, rescued something my daughter left behind and arranged to get it to a friend, arranged to have our well tested, inspected the work that was done after we left, and ALWAYS was so kind and generous with her recommendations and understanding when I really didn’t want to change something (I really loved the kitchen paint lol)! She also has an incredible network of very reasonably priced and super nice professional painters and workmen capable of spiffing up the house to help it sell. I have bought and sold numerous houses and never had a real estate agent that was remotely as amazing as Amanda. Seriously, she is a gem.”
“Patrick Beasley is the best realtor in Montgomery County in my eyes and should be yours too as he made our home buying experience smooth and stress-free for the second time i must add. He was incredibly responsive to answering all our questions promptly and with confidence and always ready to take curveball questions. Patrick guided us through every step of the buying process and provided as well as educated us with knowledge and possibilities tailored to our specific needs. His knowledge of the local market and genuine care for his clients really stood out, which is why we are returning clients and future clients for more projects in the future. I always highly recommend Patrick to anyone looking to buy a home in the DMV area because i am confident in his warm care, strong ownership and detail-oriented approach for each and everyone of his clients.”
“We are so grateful for Anastasiia's help throughout the condo buying process. Her patience, availability and willingness to answer questions, no matter how small our concern, gave us complete confidence. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and dedicated.”
“Calvin was very helpful finding us a home. My husband and I were looking for a while and knew around the areas we wanted. We'd come prepared with 3 to 4 properties every weekend. Even some during the week and Calvin was always there. Once we found THE ONE, Calvin made sure to keep our expectations level and helped us negotiate everything we felt concerned about while also keeping a strong offer. He was there during every inspection, every investigation and helped explain anything I might have missed. Hands down would buy again with Calvin, over and over again.”
“Amazing to work with—professional, knowledgeable, and always responsive. They made the entire buying process smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend them!”
“I highly recommend Donna Paton as a realtor for anyone looking to sell a property in Arlington, VA. While I was residing several hours away during the sale of my condo, Donna expertly managed every aspect of the process with exceptional professionalism. She took on full responsibility, including coordinating the removal of left-behind items, arranging for painting, flooring, and staging, and ensuring all work met her rigorous standards. Donna diligently oversaw contractors to meet a tight schedule and personally inspected their work to guarantee top quality. Her dedication and attention to detail made the process seamless and stress-free. I wholeheartedly endorse Donna Paton for her outstanding real estate services.”
