Georgetown, Foxhall, Berkley and Glover Park Housing Market: Washington DC 20007 Then and Now

Matt Cheney recorded episode thirty-nine of Onsite with Matt Cheney in December 2021 as a snapshot of Washington, DC 20007, the zip code that includes Georgetown, Foxhall, Berkley, Burleith, Observatory Circle, and parts of Glover Park. That video captured the 2021 housing market in a few numbers: 428 homes sold, an average sales price of $1,901,442, and an average of 31 days on the market. Nearly five years later, the numbers have moved. This updated post keeps the neighborhood story from the original video and sets every 2021 figure beside its current Bright MLS counterpart, so buyers and sellers can see how the 20007 housing market has changed.

Data note: All current figures are provided by Bright MLS, pulled October 13, 2026, for zip code 20007, covering closed sales from September 1, 2025 to September 30, 2026. The 2021 figures come from Matt Cheney’s December 2021 video and are labeled as 2021 throughout. Current figures are reported for three property types: detached single-family homes, townhouses (including semi-detached and twin homes), and condos and co-ops. Averages describe the zip code as a whole and do not describe any individual home, street, or neighborhood.

What Neighborhoods Are in the Washington DC 20007 Zip Code?

The 20007 zip code is one of the most recognized in the District. It includes Georgetown, the historic port neighborhood and home of Georgetown University, along with Foxhall, Berkley, Burleith, Observatory Circle, and portions of Glover Park. Matt Cheney’s 2021 video described the area as a zip code with loads of charm that knows a thing or two about location, and the range of housing found here supports that description.

Housing in 20007 spans several property types. Georgetown includes narrow rowhouses on brick and cobblestone streets, some dating to the 1700s and 1800s, along with larger detached homes and condominium buildings near Wisconsin Avenue and the waterfront. Foxhall and Berkley tend to be more residential, with detached homes set on larger lots along winding streets. Burleith and Glover Park tend to feature attached and semi-detached houses. Because the mix is so varied, a single zip code average blends very different homes, which is why this post reports detached homes, townhouses, and condos separately.

Observatory Circle is a smaller, distinct pocket within the zip code, anchored by the grounds of the Naval Observatory. Buyers comparing these neighborhoods should look at lot size, housing type, commute, and access to parks and shopping rather than relying on the zip code alone.

Georgetown Shopping, Dining, and Walkability in 20007

Georgetown remains a walkable outdoor shopping district centered on M Street and Wisconsin Avenue. In 2021, Matt Cheney’s video cited roughly 150 clothing and fashion stores, about 40 interior design and home furnishing stores and art galleries, and more than 100 restaurants. Those counts are from 2021, and the mix of businesses shifts as shops and restaurants open and close. Readers who want a current count can check with the Georgetown Business Improvement District or ask Matt Cheney directly.

The design district centers on Cady’s Alley, a pedestrian-oriented alley behind M Street where converted industrial buildings now hold furniture and home design showrooms. The alley sits alongside the C&O Canal, which gives the area a mix of historic brick, canal views, and retail within a few blocks of residential streets.

Looking for more of a boutique shopping feel? Matt Cheney’s video pointed to Book Hill, the stretch of Wisconsin Avenue up the hill from the main commercial core. His fun fact for the area: Wisconsin Avenue was originally called High Street, much like the main street of a British town, a reminder that Georgetown was an established port community long before it became part of the District.

The C&O Canal and Georgetown’s Waterfront History

Georgetown began as a colonial tobacco port on the Potomac, and its warehouses, street grid, and canal still reflect that past. A section of the C&O Canal runs through town and has been restored, as the 2021 video noted. The canal is now part of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park, and its towpath is a popular route for walking and cycling.

The video also shared a fun fact about the canal’s origins. George Washington’s Potowmack Company, formed in 1785 to improve navigation on the Potomac, built canals around several sets of falls. In the 1820s its holdings were transferred to the company that went on to build the C&O Canal, and construction on that canal began in 1828. Some of the earlier work, including a skirting canal near Little Falls, was later incorporated into the C&O Canal. For buyers, the canal is a daily feature of the neighborhood, not only a historic landmark.

20007 Single-Family Home Sales: 2021 Compared With Today

In 2021, Matt Cheney reported that 428 homes traded in the 20007 zip code over the prior year, for an average sales price of $1,901,442 and an average of 31 days on the market. Bright MLS now reports detached homes and townhouses (including semi-detached and twin homes) separately, so the current picture is easiest to read in two parts.

Detached single-family homes in 20007

Between September 1, 2025 and September 30, 2026, 64 detached single-family homes closed in 20007 at an average sold price of $4,087,660 and an average of 54 days on market. The median sold price was $3,100,000 and the median days on market was 15. The average sits above the median because of the higher-priced sales at the top of the range, including the $28,000,000 Prospect Street sale. On average, these homes closed at about 97.5 percent of list price. Detached homes in this zip code often sit on larger lots, particularly in Foxhall and Berkley, which can influence both price and the time a property takes to sell.

Townhouses, semi-detached, and twin homes in 20007

Townhouses, semi-detached, and twin homes were the most active category. A total of 235 closed in the current Bright MLS data at an average sold price of $2,002,580 and an average of 32 days on market. Attached housing is common across Georgetown, Burleith, and Glover Park, and this category moved at roughly the pace of the 2021 figure of 31 days.

Both categories combined, for a direct 2021 comparison

Matt Cheney’s 2021 figure counted all non-condo homes together, so a combined view offers the closest comparison. Calculated from the Bright MLS figures above, the two categories together total 299 closed sales, with a combined average sold price of about $2.45 million and a combined average of about 37 days on market. This combined figure is a weighted calculation and not a separate Bright MLS statistic.

• Homes sold: 428 in 2021, compared with 299 in the current period, a decrease of roughly 30 percent.
• Average sold price: $1,901,442 in 2021, compared with about $2.45 million today, an increase of roughly 29 percent.
• Average days on market: 31 days in 2021, compared with about 37 days today.

In plain terms, fewer homes closed in the current period than in 2021, and the average price for homes that did close is higher. The split matters, though. Detached homes pulled the average up considerably, while townhouses averaged just over $2 million. Buyers and sellers working in a specific neighborhood should look at that neighborhood’s sales rather than the zip code average.

The Highest Single-Family Sale in 20007: 2021 and Today

The 2021 video highlighted a circa 1928 red brick home in the East Village of Georgetown that measured over 9,400 square feet on a 4,800 square foot lot, with six bedrooms, nine full and two half bathrooms, and a private pool. It sold for $9,500,000 in July 2021, which works out to roughly $1,011 per square foot based on the figures in the video.

The highest detached sale in the current Bright MLS data is on Prospect Street NW in Georgetown. The home is listed as built in 1787 and measures 30,000 square feet on a lot of about 0.51 acres, with five bedrooms, five full bathrooms, and four half bathrooms. It closed on January 12, 2026 for $28,000,000, or about $933 per square foot. That was the full list price, and the home spent 1 day on the market.

News coverage of the sale, citing Compass, described the Prospect Street home, known as Halcyon House, as the highest-priced residential sale in DC history.

Comparing the two, the highest detached sale rose from $9.5 million in 2021 to $28 million today, nearly triple the earlier figure. The homes differ greatly in age, size, and setting. The 2021 home measured about 9,400 square feet and the current one measures 30,000, so the price per square foot came in lower today, at about $933 compared with roughly $1,011 in 2021. This is a comparison of the top of the market and does not measure appreciation of any one property.

For contrast, the Foxhall Road NW home that closed on October 27, 2025 for $12,500,000 spent 484 days on the market and sold at 87.72 percent of its list price. The home was built in 2021 and measures 11,095 square feet on a lot of about 1.10 acres, with seven bedrooms, seven full bathrooms, and three half bathrooms. The two sales show that homes at the top of the market can follow very different paths, depending on the property, price point, and timing.

The Highest Townhouse Sale in 20007: A Georgetown Sale on 33rd Street

Because the 2021 video did not report townhouses separately, there is no 2021 figure to pair with this category. The current Bright MLS data shows the highest townhouse sale on 33rd Street NW in Georgetown. The home is listed as built in 1788 and measures 4,650 square feet on a lot of about 0.13 acres, with six bedrooms, six full bathrooms, and one half bathroom. It closed on October 31, 2025 for $8,250,000, or about $1,774 per square foot, after a list price of $9,495,000. That is 86.89 percent of the list price, with 35 days on market.

This sale shows how much the per-square-foot figure can vary across the zip code. The Foxhall Road detached home sold at about $1,127 per square foot on a large lot, while the Georgetown townhouse sold at about $1,774 per square foot on a small one. Location, historic character, lot size, and condition can each affect price in different ways.

20007 Condos and Co-ops: 2021 Compared With Today

In 2021, 275 condo and co-op units traded in 20007 at an average sales price of $617,000 and an average of 35 days on the market. In the current Bright MLS data, 162 condos and co-ops closed at an average sold price of $650,464 and an average of 58 days on market.

• Units sold: 275 in 2021, compared with 162 today, a decrease of roughly 41 percent.
• Average sold price: $617,000 in 2021, compared with $650,464 today, an increase of roughly 5 percent.
• Average days on market: 35 days in 2021, compared with 58 days today, an increase of 23 days.

The condo and co-op category shows a different pattern from houses. The average price is only modestly higher than in 2021, while sales volume is lower and units are taking longer to sell. Buyers may find more time to compare options, and sellers may find that pricing, condition, and presentation matter a great deal, depending on the building and unit.

The Highest Condo Sale in 20007: 2021 and Today

The 2021 video featured Penthouse 2E at the Ritz-Carlton Residences, Georgetown, a unit of more than 6,500 square feet with four bedrooms, four full and two half bathrooms, three terraces totaling 2,800 square feet, and floor-to-ceiling windows. It sold for $7,850,000, or $1,193 per square foot.

In the current Bright MLS data, the highest condo sale on Wisconsin Avenue NW is a four-bedroom unit with four full bathrooms and one half bathroom, built in 2014 and measuring 4,018 square feet. It closed on January 5, 2026 for $6,250,000, or $1,555.50 per square foot, after a list price of $6,750,000. That is 92.59 percent of the list price, with 113 days on market.

The top condo price is lower than in 2021, roughly 20 percent below the $7,850,000 penthouse sale, but the price per square foot is higher, by roughly 30 percent. The 2021 and current units differ in size and building, so these figures describe two individual sales and not a trend for all condos in the zip code.

Georgetown Median Price Growth: The 2021 Figure and the Current Picture

Matt Cheney’s 2021 video cited UrbanTurf reporting that Georgetown saw the highest increase in median home prices in DC for 2021, a jump of 32 percent. That figure described one year of growth in a market that was moving quickly at the time. For the current median price change in Georgetown, contact Matt directly for a current market analysis.

What the 20007 Numbers May Mean for Sellers

The current data suggests that sellers in 20007 may see different results depending on property type. Townhouses averaged 32 days on market, close to the 2021 pace, while detached homes averaged 54 days (median 15) and condos averaged 58 days. The highest sale in each category closed at between roughly 87 and 100 percent of its list price, from the Georgetown townhouse at 86.89 percent to the Prospect Street home at 100 percent, which indicates that pricing strategy can play a large role in the outcome.

Sellers may want to consider lot size, condition, recent comparable sales within their own neighborhood, and the property type when setting a price. Results vary by property, price point, timing, and market competition, and no specific result is guaranteed. A pricing conversation grounded in recent Bright MLS sales for the specific street or building is often more useful than a zip code average. Contact Matt directly for a current market analysis.

What the 20007 Numbers May Mean for Buyers

For buyers, a longer average time on market for detached homes and condos may create more room to compare properties and consider terms. Townhouses moved faster, which may mean that well-priced attached homes in desirable locations can draw quicker decisions. These patterns are averages and can differ by street, building, and season.

Buyers comparing Georgetown, Foxhall, Berkley, Burleith, and Glover Park should look at housing type, lot size, commute, parks, shopping, and long-term flexibility, and should visit each neighborhood at different times of day. Reviewing recent closed sales alongside current listings gives a more complete picture than either alone.
