Tracking the Logan Circle real estate market matters because this neighborhood’s inventory, pricing, and days-on-market set the tone for nearby corridors such as Shaw and Dupont Circle. This Market Report pulls the latest pricing, listing, and sales trends so agents, buyers, and sellers can see where the market stands right now.

What is the Current State of the Logan Circle Real Estate Market?

Through the most recent monthly reports, Logan Circle’s housing market shows a pullback from the peak pricing of the last few years while activity and inventory sit at a higher-than-very-tight level. Median sale prices were lower year-over-year in October 2025, and homes are staying on the market longer than they did a year earlier which is a sign that sellers and buyers are negotiating more.

Median sale price for Logan Circle was $725,000 in October 2025; which is down 9.8% compared to October 2024; and the Zillow home-value index puts average home values near $577,800 as of October 31, 2025. Zillow reported about 104 for-sale inventory on October 31, 2025, which gives buyers more to choose from than during earlier low-inventory cycles. 

Average List Price

The median list price in Logan Circle is roughly $593,283 as of October 31, 2025. That median blends condos, townhouses, and single-family listings; typical condo asking prices sit in the low-to-mid $600Ks while townhouses and rowhouses commonly list above $1,000,000. For pricing decisions, separate condo and townhouse comps rather than relying on the neighborhood median alone.

Average Sales Price

The median sale price in Logan Circle was $725,000 in October 2025, which represents what buyers actually paid across condos, townhouses, and rowhouses that month.

By contrast, Zillow’s neighborhood value index put average home values at $577,816 through October 31, 2025, reflecting a different sample and methodology. For finer comparisons, Redfin reports a median sale price per square foot of about $635 in October 2025, down year-over-year; use per-square-foot comps to compare similar units or buildings.

Number of Homes Listed

There are roughly one hundred active listings in Logan Circle at this time. Zillow showed about 104 homes for sale as of October 31, 2025, while other portals report anywhere from the mid-80s to the low 130s depending on how they draw neighborhood boundaries and whether off-market or pocket listings are included.

For a precise, transaction-level count use Bright MLS or your broker’s MLS/IDX feed, since those sources consolidate broker listings and reduce boundary-related variance.

Number of Homes Sold

In October 2025, there were 67 homes sold in Logan Circle. Monthly sales counts bounce seasonally and by price segment, so view that number as an immediate signal rather than a full-year total. If you want year-to-date sold figures, pull a YTD report from Bright MLS or local public-record feeds; neighborhood dashboards often summarize monthly and rolling-12 metrics.

Average Days on Market

Time-to-contract has stretched compared with last year. Redfin’s median days on market for October 2025 was 90 days which is substantially longer than the roughly 40 days reported at the same point last year. The longer DOM indicates more negotiation and more careful buyer selection; it also translates into wider windows for inspections, appraisal contingencies, and potential price adjustments.

Price Drops

Neighborhood-level reporting on price drops can be noisy, but the local indicators are consistent: sale-to-list ratios have softened and a higher share of listings are seeing reductions compared with a year ago. Logan Circle’s sale-to-list ratio was around 97.4% in October 2025; which is down from the prior year; meaning sellers are, on average, accepting somewhat lower offers relative to the asking price. National and regional data also show price reductions have become more common, which feeds into local negotiation dynamics.

Locally, some sub-zips within the 20005/20001 cluster experienced sharper corrections earlier in 2025, and you’ll still see price-reduced flags on listings as sellers recalibrate to buyer appetite. That makes active monitoring of price-drop flags an easy way to identify motivated sellers or freshly re-priced opportunities.

How Have Home Values Changed in Logan Circle?

Over the long term Logan Circle has posted meaningful appreciation thanks to downtown investment and strong demand for walkable neighborhoods. That long-term gain now sits alongside a short-term cooling in 2024–2025: price growth has slowed, inventory has risen, and homes are taking longer to sell. The sections below break those shifts into one-, three-, five-, and ten-year perspectives.

One-Year Change

Logan Circle’s median sale price was down about 9.8% year-over-year as of October 2025, and Zillow’s ZHVI showed a roughly 1.9% decline in average home value over the prior 12 months through October 31, 2025. Those two measurements capture slightly different samples and methods, but both point to cooling since the 2024 peak.

Three-Year Change

Three-year neighborhood changes blend post-pandemic appreciation with the 2024–2025 plateau and correction. Public neighborhood indexes and MLS summaries suggest Logan Circle is still modestly positive on a three-year horizon, but the precise three-year percent varies by dataset and property mix. For broker-level accuracy, pull a three-year rolling report from Bright MLS or your local MLS export.

Five-Year Change

Over five years, Logan Circle has seen substantial cumulative appreciation compared with a decade ago because of downtown renewal and strong demand for walkable DC neighborhoods. That said, short-term corrections in 2024–2025 reduced recent year-over-year gains. Use sale-price-per-square-foot comparisons to control for unit-size changes when analyzing five-year shifts.

Ten-Year Change

A ten-year view smooths out cycles: Logan Circle remains materially higher than it was a decade earlier, reflecting long-term urban investment, restaurant and retail growth, and transit-proximate desirability. Exact decade-over-decade percentages require historical MLS or public-record pulls; a neighborhood-level ZHVI timeseries or Bright MLS historical export will give the most accurate ten-year percent.

How Are Mortgage Rates?

National mortgage rates have moved lower in late 2025 compared with mid-year peaks. Freddie Mac reported the 30-year fixed-rate average at about 6.19% as of December 4, 2025. Forecasts from major housing economists expect rates to ease into the low-6% range over the coming year, but the path will depend on inflation, Treasury yields, and Fed policy. In short: rates fell modestly late in 2025, which should support some improvement in buyer affordability relative to earlier 2025 levels.

Predictions for the next 3, 6, and 12 months center on modest declines: many forecasters are penciling the 30-year average in the mid-to-low 6% range over the next 12 months. If rates ease as expected, buyers will gain incremental purchasing power and some refinancers may return to the market; however, price movement depends on inventory and local demand as much as mortgage costs. For neighborhood-level decisions, track weekly PMMS/Freddie Mac releases and local lender spreads.

Is it a Buyer or Seller’s Market in Logan Circle?

Right now, Logan Circle reads as a neutral-to-slightly-buyer-leaning market compared with the hyper-competitive environment of 2020–2022. Several indicators point that way: longer median days on market, a sale-to-list ratio to about 97.4% in October 2025, and inventory that is larger than the pandemic-era trough. Those dynamics give buyers more negotiating leverage than they had during the hottest months, while properly priced and well-presented homes can still move quickly.

That said, “buyer” vs. “seller” is price- and segment-dependent. Upper-end townhouses and pristine new-construction condos can still behave like seller markets if supply is tight at that price point. Conversely, lower-priced condos and units that need substantial updates are more clearly favoring buyers.
