D.C.-area home prices plunged 33% between 2007 and 2010, according to listing service Bright MLS, but that Great Recession setback has barely put a dent in long-term homes price inflation in the D.C. region.Going back more than two decades shows home values in the D.C. metro have more than tripled.“In 2000, the typical home price in D.C. was $173,207, and now it costs $521,308.

So there is a huge gap between income and home prices,” Huisache said.Home prices have cooled in many metro areas in the past year — t...
