Prince George’s County, Maryland, remains the most affordable housing market in the D.C. region, but prices there are rising at the fastest pace in suburban Maryland.

Prince George’s is home to Six Flags America, the Capitol Wheel, and the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center – not to mention a number of parks and gardens full of green hiking trails. The county also lays claim to the University of Maryland’s main campus in College Park, with more than 40,000 students.

In September 2019, the median price of what sold in Prince George’s County was $315,000. That’s $21,000, or 7%, more than the median price of what sold in Prince George’s County a year ago.

The median home price in Prince George’s County is still almost $275,000 lower than the median price in Arlington County, Virginia, the region’s most expensive county for home prices.

In Prince George’s County, two positive trends for sellers over the past year are that the median sale price has increased and the average days on the market has decreased. However, the decrease in units sold and sold dollar volume – especially when paired with the 16.5% increase in new listings – may be cause for concern for investors looking to sell freshly rehabbed properties in the coming months.
