Extremely competitive. Homes in the 20895 zip receive 6+ offers on average and sell in under a week. Low inventory keeps prices strong — $858K median as of late 2025, up year-over-year. Buyers who wait face more competition.

Smaller town feel, lower price points, and more architectural character. Victorian homes, Antique Row, tree-lined streets, and a real community identity. Bethesda is more corporate. Kensington is more personal.

Excellent. Grosvenor-Strathmore Metro (Red Line) gets you downtown in about 35 minutes. By car it's 25-30 min via Connecticut Ave or I-495. MARC train also runs from Kensington's historic station.

Depends on what you want. Historic District for Victorian charm and walkability. Chevy Chase View for larger homes. Rock Creek Hills for mid-century character. Parkwood for community feel and strong resale.

A 3-4 bedroom single family home — often with original Victorian or mid-century character, hardwood floors, and a real yard. Similar money in Bethesda gets you a townhouse with no lot.

Escalation clauses, appraisal gap coverage, clean contract terms, and a pre-approval letter from a local lender. Sellers here know the market — weak offers die fast. Kevin's strategy wins in multiple-offer situations.

Absolutely. Pre-listing prep, professional photography, strategic pricing, and an aggressive open house plan. Kevin's team averages 99.6% of list price and 25 days on market across MoCo.
