It continues to be a great time to sell your home in the District — and almost anywhere else nationwide.
DC-area homeowners who sold in the third quarter of 2021 saw an average profit of $138,757, per the latest report from ATTOM Data Solutions. This represents a 40% year-over-year increase compared to the $92,100 gain observed in the third quarter of 2020. This is also the second-highest average seller gain in the area over the past 13 years.
Home seller profits nationwide also hit six figures this past quarter, with an average gain of $100,178 compared to $85,000 in the third quarter of 2020. Seller profits increased in 86% of the metropolitan areas studied by ATTOM.
"Soaring profits in the third quarter came as the national median home price increased 3.5 percent from the second quarter of 2021 and 15.9 percent from the third quarter of 2020," the report stated. "The annual price surge marked the fifth straight quarter with year-over-year increases of at least 10 percent."
