Is the 20841 ZIP code a buyer's or seller's market?
ZIP code 20841 is a balanced market and homes selling in about 87 days. We classify markets from months of supply, sale-to-list ratio and days on market together — no single number decides it.
What are the latest 20841 housing market stats?
Redfin's final published month for this ZIP code. Redfin, through March 2026
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Median sale price | $740,000 |
| Median list price | $749,995 |
| Year-over-year price change | +1.0% |
| Median price per sq ft | $308/sq ft |
| Median days on market | 87 days |
| Active inventory | 22 listings |
| Sale-to-list price ratio | 105.3% |
| Homes sold (that month) | 43 |
| Market condition | Balanced market |
Reading these: months of supply is how long it would take to sell every active listing at the current pace (under 4 months of supply tilts toward sellers, 4 to 5 months is the neutral band, and above 5 months tilts toward buyers — above 7 months is a glut.). Days on market is the median time from listing to accepted offer. Sale-to-list ratio above 100% means bidding over asking is normal here. Price per square foot lets you compare differently sized homes, but it should not be used to value your own.
How have 20841 home prices moved?
Over the three years through Redfin's final published month, the median sale price in 20841 rose 13.8%, from $650,000 to $740,000. The live Zillow value series has fell 2.5% in the last 12 months — the more current read now that the Redfin series has stopped. ZIP-level medians swing harder than citywide ones because far fewer homes sell in a month; read the shape of the line, not any single point.

How does 20841 compare to Germantown, MD?
20841 sits about 3.2 miles from downtown Germantown, but we do not hold ZIP and citywide sale rows for the same period, so putting the two numbers side by side would be comparing different months. The Germantown, MD housing market page has the citywide figures, and the comparison tool puts any two markets against each other.
What does it cost to buy a home in 20841?
Priced off the typical home value of $826,271 at the current 7.03% 30-year fixed rate. Principal and interest only — property taxes, insurance, HOA dues and mortgage insurance are on top and vary too much by property for us to guess.
| Down payment | Cash at close | Loan amount | Monthly P&I |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20% | $165,254 | $661,016 | $4,411/mo |
| 5% | $41,314 | $784,957 | $5,238/mo |
Zillow, August 2026 for the price · Freddie Mac via FRED, September 2026 for the rate

The median household in this ZIP earns $184,688, about $4,358 short of it — which is why down payment size, not price, usually decides who buys here. Price-to-income runs 4.5x.
