D.C. is seeing more $2 million neighborhoods

D.C. has more neighborhoods with $2 million and up median sales prices now than it did at the same time last year, per Bright MLS data.

Why it matters: D.C.'s luxury real estate market is booming, as higher-income buyers are less burdened by steadily high interest rates and D.C.'s expensive prices.

State of play: Four Northwest neighborhoods currently have median sales prices above $2 million: Kent, Berkley, Burleith, and Spring Valley.

• At the same time last year, there were only two: Berkley and Spring Valley.

These neighborhoods clock in way higher than D.C.'s median sales price of $625,000.

The intrigue: An increasing number of luxury buyers are paying for their homes with all cash .

• And some of these neighborhoods will be affected by D.C.'s new " mansion tax ."
