a message from maureen mcenearney dunn McEnearney Associates has had the privilege of serving the Washington, DC metropolitan area since 1980. With almost four decades of success, we know what a special place this is to live and work! We’re proud to be locally owned, locally operated and locally involved. When John McEnearney founded our company, he had a clear objective: “To provide a quality of real estate services that is second to none. To earn the respect of our customers and clients and ultimately their recognition as the best.” While we have grown from a small office with 15 agents in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia to one with nine offices in Washington, Maryland and Virginia and over 370 wonderful Associates, our commitment to that objective has never wavered. We are honored every time a client chooses us to help them sell, buy or rent their home. Every transaction, regardless of price, is important to us – because it is important to you. We hope you enjoy this Suburban Maryland Market Report, and please let us know if we can ever help with any of your real estate needs. Sincerely,

2018 first half review The real estate markets in Montgomery and Prince George’s County were fairly flat in the first half of 2018 compared to the first half of 2017, but there were considerable differences between the two. Many key market indicators look just like those from last year. The total number of sales was almost unchanged in Prince George’s County and was down 4.6% in Montgomery County. In both, homes that settled in the first half of the year sold in an average of 43 days, down five days for Montgomery County and 2 days for Prince George’s compared to last year. The average sales price was up 3.6% in Montgomery County and up 4.2% in Prince George’s, and in both areas, homes sold a little closer to their original list price than last year. But that’s where the similarities end.
Mortgage interest rates jumped almost a half point in the first couple months of 2018 but have since stabilized. Rates have hovered around 4.6% for the last three months. While the increase in rates has hurt affordability, buyers have not been deterred and rates are still extremely low from an historical perspective. Each area has different market dynamics, so you’ll find an analysis of the performance of detached homes, attached homes and condos for the communities that make this such a wonderful place to live. We hope you find this information useful, and we invite you to connect with any of our terrific McEnearney Associates for a deeper look!
The average sales price in Montgomery County is almost $550,000 and in Prince George’s it is $295,000. Almost 60% of all home sales in Prince George’s are less than $300,000, and that will serve the County well in the months ahead. The inventory of entry-level priced homes is very low in every other jurisdiction in the metro area, typically constituting 15% - 22% of all sales. As prices climb elsewhere, more purchasers are looking to Prince George’s for affordable alternatives. We’re far enough into 2018 to conclude that the impact of last year’s tax reform legislation has been negligible – the negative implications of the limit on the deductibility of state and local taxes has largely been offset by the increase in take-home pay for many wage-earners.

Bethesda is a predominantly residential community, although there is a distinctly urban pocket surrounding the Bethesda Metro station. Bethesda boasts some 20 art galleries, a wide array of globally-minded culinary diversions and numerous boutiques. Opportunities abound for those seeking something more. Strathmore Hall hosts world-class symphonic concerts and there are a variety of local theatres. Local food and art festivals occur on an almost monthly basis. Chevy Chase has a wide variety of neighborhoods, many with their own unique characteristics created over the years by location, topography, housing styles and a strong sense of community. Several are incorporated townships with elected governments – Chevy Chase Village, Town of Chevy Chase, Somerset, and Friendship Heights to name a few. The Chevy Chase communities offer predominantly single family homes but the Village of Friendship Heights on the southern border is a bustling urban area with apartment living, offices, shopping, entertainment, restaurants, Whole Foods Market, and a metro stop of the same name. The community boasts a village-like atmosphere that is both comfortable and convenient. Within the Chevy Chase borders are two country clubs, the National 4-H Center, a section of Rock Creek Park extending from D.C. into Maryland, small neighborhood shopping areas, many schools, places of worship, a library, and the Leland Community Center. There is also a county rec center that offers classes, a playground and sports facilities. Downtown Bethesda is a big draw for Chevy Chase residents. There you will find the Bethesda Metro, lots of shops including an Apple store and Barnes & Noble, restaurants, street vendors, movies, access to the Capital Crescent Trail and many small businesses. On the weekends, it is full of folks just strolling and checking it all out. The Red Line metro at Friendship heights connects residents with the WMATA grid. Residents in the eastern part of Chevy Chase may be able to enjoy the scenic backdrop provided by Rock Creek Park.

Kensington is located outside the Capital Beltway around the Rock Creek basin. Kensington’s development coincided with the construction of light rail in the late 1800s. Like other communities in Washington’s periphery, the area of Kensington offered respite from District’s swampy summers. The initial plan for the community was as a series of garden neighborhoods. Washington financier Brainard Warner undertook this project and in 1894 the new town was christened “Kensington.” Kensington is a residential “bedroom” community of Washington, D.C. but has its own commercial center. Residents will be delighted to find a colorful selection of art galleries, boutiques and restaurants. Kensington boasts seven well-manicured parks and an active community calendar. There is a farmer’s market every Saturday, from 8 a.m. to Noon, at the historic Kensington Train Station.
silver spring
Silver Spring is a centrally-located suburb just to the north of Washington D.C. Prince George’s County is to the east, and Chevy Chase and Kensington are to the west. Silver Spring gets its name from a Micaflecked sparkling spring discovered by Francis Blair, who came to Maryland from Kentucky to publish a newspaper. While horseback riding he discovered the spring in 1842 and named the area Silver Spring. Today the spring’s location is commemorated by Acorn Park in the downtown area. Silver Spring offers the best of both urban and suburban living with neighborhoods lined with mature trees and dotted with playgrounds and parks - all while being close to the heart of city living. The community has recently undergone a significant renaissance with the addition of major retail, residential and office development. Notable landmarks are the American Film Institute’s Silver Theater and Walter Reed Research Center. From Friday to Sunday night the center of Silver Spring comes to life. Fenton Street is blocked off from traffic, providing the freedom to stroll to restaurants or just enjoy people watching at Silver Spring Plaza. During the warm months, Silver Spring Plaza offers free concerts, movie nights and a jazz festival. In June, the AFI and Discovery host “SilverDocs,” which promotes national and international independent filmmakers by giving them the opportunity to showcase their works.

Rockville is located north of Bethesda off I-270. Rockville remained an agricultural community through much of the 18th and 19th centuries until the B&O Railroad arrived in 1873. With a direct line from Washington, Rockville’s population increased and new ventures were pursued outside Washington’s boundaries. Today Rockville is home to a number of research offices and headquarters for both private and public enterprises. Rockville features many historical homes sites. Some of the homes that make up these neighborhoods are over 100 years old and have been constructed in a variety of architectural styles. Rockville is also comprised of several large, planned neighborhoods that offer a combination of single-family homes, condos, townhomes and rental apartments. This stands in contrast to Rockville Town Center, which lends to a more urban living experience. Rockville’s parks are all extremely well maintained. It is a great place to live because of the many county offered facilities and programs. A Farmers Market offering fresh locally grown fruits and vegetable is available every Wednesday from June through October and every Saturday from May until November. The yearly events such as the Fourth of July fireworks and the Hometown Holidays are wonderful. Dining at Rockville Town Center is convenient and one can find almost any type of cuisine to satisfy the discerning tastes of children and parents alike.
gaithersburg
Gaithersburg is a suburban located northwest of Rockville and straddles I-270. In the late 1700s, Gaithersburg was the site of a small agricultural community that was known as Log Town. The name was changed in the mid 1800s to Gaithersburg after Benjamin Gaither, whose family owned a considerable amount of the area’s land. There are several large shopping centers that feature a variety of retail stores and commercial services and the s=area is served by the Shady Grove stop on metro’s red line. Gaithersburg is home to the National Institute of Technical Standards and numerous aerospace and biomedical research firms. There are several golf courses and numerous parks, such as Seneca Creek State Park, that reflect the community’s agricultural past and preservationist attitude.

potomac/north potomac
As its name suggests, a large part of this community is nestled along the banks of the Potomac River. Potomac is located just outside the Capital Beltway and mirrors Great Falls, Virginia on the river’s opposite shore. In the 18th century, Potomac was a rural farming community better known as Offutt’s Crossroads. Offutt’s Crossroads grew in size after the Civil War and in 1880, a name change was requested and Potomac was “born.” Potomac experienced much of the same suburban growth that spread from the District in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Potomac is a community of convenience and comfort. D.C. is only 15 miles away. Broad streets and mature trees line expansive lots dotted with attractive single-family residences, many of which are grand estates. It is a welcomed breath of fresh air from the congestion of the regions more urban centers. Potomac is home to Great Falls National Park and several world-famous golf courses that are home to major PGA events. The scenic C & O Canal is a haven for runners, walkers and bikers. Potomac Village is the focal point of Potomac. Located at the intersections of Falls Road and River Road, Potomac Village features upscale shops, businesses and restaurants. North Potomac is located outside the Capital Beltway, just off I-270. and shares a similar history with Potomac. North Potomac is a classically suburban community comprised of many smaller neighborhoods. Here one can find large single-family homes and townhouses. There are several shopping areas within the community containing numerous retailers, grocery stores and other regional and national chains. Muddy Branch Park courses throughout North Potomac and is ideal for those looking for trail running, walking and biking.

Bowie is located in northeast Prince George’s County between Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, Maryland. Named for Governor Oden Bowie in 1874, and built on eighteen square miles, the motto, “Growth, Unity and Progress” is seen everyday by residents. Due to its strategic location, railroad transportation is a significant part of Bowie’s past, present and future. In 1872 the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad established a hub in Bowie to Washington, D.C. Today that railroad link is a part of Amtrak’s busy Northeast Corridor. Bowie residents are proud of the various recreational and cultural opportunities in their community. Bowiefest is a one-day June celebration where residents are introduced to the Best of Bowie! Bowie’s International Festival held in October is a time for the community to celebrate. Bowie residents can hike the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis trail, find plenty of activities available at Genealogical Society Library, local public libraries, and the community recreational centers. Bowie has public parks for golfing, ice skating, boat rentals, its own Bowie Skate Park, tennis, soccer fields and miles of bike trails. The Bowie Playhouse Theatre hosts four theatre companies that provide a variety of live entertainment, as well as the Bowie Railroad Museum. The Bowie Baysox AA minor league affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles play their games at Bowie Stadium, and the iconic Belair Mansion, home to Provincial Governor Samuel Ogle, is on the National Register of Historic Places and open to the public with free admission.

District Heights is located just outside Washington, D.C. along Kipling Parkway and Marlboro Pike. District Heights was originally farm land owned by Major Leander P. Williams, purchased as four patented Lord Baltimore tracts Under grants issued to Lord Baltimore by King Charles I of Great Britain, the tracts belonged to Colonel Ninian Beall, Benjamin Berry, and Alexander Magruder. District Heights evolved from one of the four patents. In 1925 land purchased and formed into District Heights Company by Joseph Tepper, David L. Blanken, Henry Oxenberg, Gilbert Leventhal, Simon Gordon, and Simon Gerber. The land was farmed by Walter and Al Dustin, whose farmhouse stood at 7116 Foster Street. By 1925 streets laid out first three blocks of Halleck Street and Aztec. By 1936, the city had approximately 25 homes built, two businesses, a grocery store and filling station, a pump house and water tower to furnish the water and pressure for the City, a sewage system and a free Model T bus service to 17th and Pennsylvania Avenue, S.E. Today, District Heights is a suburban community of single-family residences and townhomes. There is a wide array of amenities available at several nearby shopping centers along Marlboro Pike, and the Suitland, Naylor Road and Branch Avenue metro stops are nearby.
fort washington
Fort Washington is named for its historic significance and strategic location on the Potomac River in an unincorporated area south of the District of Columbia. The original Fort Warburton was completed in 1809 but destroyed by the British during the War of 1812. Renamed Fort Washington when rebuilt in 1824, it was designed to protect the District of Columbia from future British attacks. During World War II the Fort served as an Army Officer Candidate School as well as the location for the 67th WAAC Detachment of women that supported the war effort. The Potomac River borders Fort Washington on the west, National Harbor to the north, Oxon Hill to the northeast and Accokeek to the south. Residents enjoy outdoor, educational and environmental activities in Fort Washington due to their proximity to Piscataway Park. Interpreting and conserving the natural resources of Piscataway Park through numerous community programs benefits all residents. The National Colonial Farm uses plants to preserve our culture and health through research and education for the entire DC Metro region. The challenging and popular Henson Creek Golf course open to the public, and live harness racing fans can step back in time and visit Rosecroft Raceway.

upper marlboro
Upper Marlboro is the seat of Prince George’s County in Maryland. The 0.43 square mile town is located to the southeast of Washington D. C.

The town blossomed into an agricultural, social, and political hot spot. Farms, many of which raised tobacco, dominated the surrounding areas. Over the decades, most of the farms have given way to residential development The people residing in Upper Marlboro benefit from the close proximity to Washington D.C. due to the ease of access.
