What comes back

- DC's record of the building: size, year built, condition, and any remodel on file.
Common questions
How do I find out what a house in DC sold for?
Type the street address above. DC records every property sale and publishes it through Open Data DC; this tool reads that record directly.
Is DC property sale data public?
Yes, published by the Office of the Chief Financial Officer through Open Data DC. This tool shows the transactions and the assessor's description of the building. It does not show owner names.
Does this tell me what my home is worth now?
No. Everything here is a price DC recorded on a date. A present-day value is an estimate, and the number you can act on is an appraisal.
Why does my address show no sales?
It may not have changed hands since DC's records begin, or only through a deed correction under $1,000, which is excluded. New construction may have no resale yet. A condominium address points at the building, so you will be asked which unit is yours.
What does “not used as a comp” mean on a sale?
The assessor did not use that sale when setting values on nearby property. About half of all recorded DC sales carry the flag and half of those are for $100,000 or more, so it does not mean the sale was anything but genuine — a common reason is condition, since a house needing work sells below the block's norm. Those sales are shown here and counted.
Thinking about what to do with it?
Where this comes from
DC property records, queried live. Changes run between consecutive sales. Records under $1,000 are deed corrections and are excluded. Only the most recent remodel year is stored. Owner names are not shown.
