With more than 900 completed transactions and $1.17 billion in lifetime sales, Judy's career is marked by consistent performance across all price points.

The current Washington, D.C. housing market presents a blend of opportunities and challenges. The median sale price stands at approximately $695,000, a slight year-over-year decrease of 0.77%, while homes spend a median of 49 days on the market. Sales activity has increased by 7.9% from the previous year, with homes closing at an average of 99% of their asking price. However, about 31.2% of listings experience price reductions, indicating that buyers remain selective and that accurate pricing is critical. For sellers, this means that while well-priced homes in desirable neighborhoods can still attract competition, not every property will receive multiple offers. For buyers, the market offers more time to evaluate properties, but sought-after areas may still see bidding wars.
Daryl Judy's recognition is not just a personal achievement but a reflection of his deep local expertise and commitment to client service. His track record includes being ranked #2 agent in Washington, D.C. by 2026 RealTrends Rankings and being named among the top 500 individual agents in the United States. He has also earned over 100 five-star reviews on Zillow and Google, further testament to his client satisfaction.
