Greenbelt, MD – February 26, 2026 – Recent closed-sale and listing activity in Greenbelt points to steady pricing but slower turnover. The median sold price held near $285K in January 2026 (down 1.2% year over year), while marketing times stretched notably. With only 9 sales reported for the month, the median can move around from month to month, so the next several weeks of closings may provide a clearer read on direction.
Key takeaways (quick scan)
- Median sold price: $285K in January 2026 (down 1.2% year over year).
- Time to sell: 78 median days on market; 9 sales reported for the month.
- Inventory: Zillow shows 53 homes for sale, which is still fairly broad for a small city.
- Rent baseline: Average apartment rent is $2,075 (Feb. 3, 2026 update).
Market snapshot
Overall, the picture is “steady prices, softer momentum.” Pricing is only slightly lower than last year, but longer days on market can change how buyers and sellers negotiate—especially if listings are sitting longer and competition is less intense than in faster periods. Because monthly sales totals are relatively small, it can help to watch trends across multiple updates rather than overreacting to a single month’s median.
Rentals: where the monthly costs are landing
On the rental side, the current average apartment rent is $2,075. One-bedrooms average around $1,780, and two-bedrooms average around $2,162. For households weighing buy vs. rent, these figures can help frame monthly carrying costs when comparing a mortgage payment plus HOA/condo fees (where applicable) against typical rents.
What’s for sale right now
Active listings continue to span a wide range. Condo and co-op style options commonly appear around $150K to $260K. Townhomes and larger single-family listings show up from the mid-$300Ks into the $600Ks and $700Ks. The big question locally: are you seeing more price cuts, more bidding competition, or more listings sitting longer?
