While the national housing market is experiencing a slowdown, Montgomery County continues to see notable growth in home values, write Janice Kai Chen and Rachel Lerman for the Washington Post.
Nationally, single-family home prices have increased by just 2.7% over the past year, a significant drop from the previous year’s 6% rise.
In contrast, Montgomery County’s average home sold price reached $489,000 in 2025, marking a 6.8% increase from the previous year. The average home value stands at $466,937, up 3.3% year-over-year.
Here’s a breakdown of recent trends in key Montgomery County communities:
