Realtors explain the tech titans in DC trend
Several realtors confirmed to AD that they had noticed the deluge of industry titans buying in the area, reflecting an overall increased interest in the priciest homes DC has to offer. “We’ve had the highest concentration of luxury sales we’ve seen in the Capital Region. The uptick started pretty much right after the election results were announced in early November 2024,” says Daniel Heider, who reportedly held the listings for the homes that Zuckerberg and Sacks bought. “Last year alone, 87 properties closed above $5 million—a 64% increase from the year prior—and 10 of those exceeded the $10 million mark, reflecting a 67% year-over-year jump,” DC real estate veteran Kimberly Casey tells AD. According to Axios, half of 2024’s top 10 most expensive sales in the area closed in December, just after Trump was elected.
