DC Small Multifamily Market Report 2025
Income Loss, Falling Values, and Forced Sales Across Washington, DC
The DC Small Multifamily Market Report documents what actually occurred in Washington, DC’s small multifamily housing market during 2024–2025.
Based on completed sales and recorded foreclosure data, the report shows how prolonged income disruption, rising operating costs, and deferred maintenance combined to drive falling property values, accelerated sales, and increased foreclosures — particularly among older, naturally affordable buildings.
This report is not a forecast or a policy analysis. It is a record of market outcomes based on closed transactions, providing a clear, data-driven picture of how financial stress unfolded across neighborhoods and building sizes throughout the city.
