This market will resolve according to the median home value for all property types in the Washington, D.C. Metro area on May 31, 2026. If the reported value falls exactly between two brackets, then this market will resolve to the higher range bracket. The resolution source will be official data from the Parcl Labs Sales Price Index for the Washington, D.C. Metro area (Parcl_ID: 2900475). The settlement price will be calculated by multiplying the published price index value (price per square foot) by 1800 square feet, which is the median home size in the Washington, D.C. Metro area. Parcl is set to publish this data on May 31, 2026. If no data for May 31 is released by June 10, 2026, 11:59PM ET, this market will resolve according to the most recently published data. (see: https://app.parcllabs.com/prediction-market-resolutions/36) Trader consensus on Polymarket prices all outcome bins for DC Metro median home value on May 31 at 49.5%, reflecting deep uncertainty and evenly balanced sentiment around recent levels near $580,000, per Zillow's Home Value Index (ZHVI) for the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria metro as of March 31, 2026—flat year-over-year amid rising inventory and softening sales momentum. Key downward pressures include Bright MLS's forecast of a 1% drop in regional median sale prices to $616,700 for 2026, fueled by federal workforce adjustments and persistent mortgage rates above 6%, while countervailing spring demand and modest wage growth in government jobs keep upside alive in higher bins. Resolution hinges on April-May inventory trends and pending economic releases like local nonfarm payrolls.
