Explore Limited Open Houses in Washington, DC This Weekend

As the holiday season approaches, the real estate market in Washington, DC, experiences a noticeable shift. This weekend, on December 19, 2025, fewer than 100 homes will be available for open house tours across the District. The quieter atmosphere presents a unique opportunity for potential buyers to explore properties without the typical hustle and bustle.

Highlighted Open Houses

Among the notable listings, one standout is a beautifully renovated three-level rowhouse in the historic Ledroit Park neighborhood. Spanning 2,700 square feet, this townhouse features a blend of historic charm and modern upgrades, including fresh paint, new hardwood floors, and a gourmet kitchen equipped with stainless steel appliances and quartz countertops. The home offers multiple living areas, exposed brick, skylights, and a private terrace, all bathed in natural light from two exposures. Additionally, it includes two-car parking at the rear.

Another appealing option is located at 3701 Camden Street SE, which presents an opportunity in one of DC’s most cherished neighborhoods. This property comprises 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms across 2,106 square feet of living space on an extra-large lot, nearly a quarter of an acre.

Price adjustments have made several listings even more attractive. One property has seen a $10,000 price reduction, allowing prospective buyers to secure a home in the heart of the city for less than the cost of renting. This unit boasts beautiful hardwood floors, a bright corner location flooded with natural light, and low monthly fees, making it an appealing choice.
