Shaw Historic District real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Shaw Historic District real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Home values in the Shaw Historic District have climbed well above the wider Washington market, with a typical home value of about $750,000 compared to roughly $594,500 citywide, and that local value is up 19.25% from a year ago. Month over month, typical values are flat at 0.0% change, suggesting prices are holding their recent gains. List prices, however, are adjusting more quickly, with the median list price around $632,400 in February.
Recent listing and contract activity shows a neighborhood with selective but real movement. Inventory held steady at 31 homes, up about 10.71% from last year, while new listings fell about 23.08% to 20. Pending sales jumped 35.71% year over year to 19, indicating more buyers are committing despite the higher price environment.
Conditions still lean toward sellers, reflected in a seller's market gauge reading of 16, but the details show some nuance. Homes are taking longer to move, with median days on market reaching 127.5, up both month over month and year over year, and only about 14% of sales closing above list, with an average sale-to-list ratio near 0.98. Looking ahead to March 2026, typical values and inventory are projected to hold around $750,000 and 31 listings, but the projected median list price may ease toward $548,850. In this type of shifting environment, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting them with an experienced local agent in the Shaw Historic District.
