The District is the only locality where the median home sales price increased in 2008. The most notable increase was in Zip code 20007, which includes Georgetown, where the median jumped 18 percent to $1.075 million. Nonetheless, the three Zip codes east of the Anacostia River (20019, 20020 and 20032) continue to have some of the lowest prices in the region.
