Judy's recognition comes at a time when the Washington, DC housing market is showing nuanced trends.

Sales activity has increased by 7.9%, with homes closing at an average of 99% of asking price and 26.6% selling above list. However, 31.2% of listings experience price reductions, indicating buyer selectivity and the importance of correct pricing.
