Petworth real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Petworth real estate market, updated for May 2026. *
Petworth is currently tilted toward sellers, with the market gauge at 16 indicating clear seller-side leverage. With typical home values around $799,950 compared to $678,000 in Washington overall, buyers are encountering relatively higher prices in this neighborhood.
Values have been climbing, with typical home value up 11.88% year over year and 2.23% just since last month, even as the median list price dipped 4.61% to about $724,999. Homes are taking time to move at a median of 100 days on market, which is 25.93% faster than last month but still 61.29% slower than a year ago, showing sellers must still price and present carefully.
On the supply side, inventory stands at 81 homes, up 22.73% month over month yet still 38.17% lower than last year, while new listings also total 81, down 35.71% over the year. Demand is steady but softer than a year ago, with 52 pending sales and a 10.34% annual decline, plus only 10% of homes selling above list and an average sale-to-list ratio near 0.97, suggesting modest negotiation room. Looking ahead to April 2026, projections show typical values edging up to $808,675 while median list price may ease to about $707,498 with inventory rising toward 88, and Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who understands these shifting dynamics.
