Daryl Judy, an associate broker with Washington Fine Properties, has been named to Washingtonian's 2026 "100 Best Agents" list and honored as an Elite Producers Platinum honoree. The recognition highlights Judy's extensive experience and consistent client representation across the Washington metropolitan area, reinforcing his standing as one of the top real estate agents in Washington, DC.
With more than 900 completed transactions and $1.17 billion in lifetime sales, Judy has built a career serving buyers and sellers across all price points, from historic rowhouses and downtown condos to investment properties and family homes. His direct approach and honest advice have earned him a loyal client base and numerous accolades, including rankings from RealTrends and the Washington Business Journal.
The Washingtonian recognition comes at a time when the DC housing market is showing signs of resilience. According to recent data, the median sale price stands at approximately $695,000, a slight 0.77% decrease year over year, while homes spend a median of 49 days on the market. Sales activity has increased by 7.9%, with 1,839 homes sold in the latest reporting period. Homes are closing at an average of 99% of asking price, and 26.6% sell above list price. However, 31.2% of listings see price reductions, indicating that buyers remain selective and pricing strategies are critical.
Judy's recognition is not just a personal achievement but a signal to the market. For buyers, the current conditions offer more time to evaluate properties, but competition remains for well-priced homes in desirable neighborhoods. Sellers must avoid overpricing and instead rely on neighborhood-level data to set realistic expectations. Judy's track record of navigating such market dynamics positions him as a valuable resource for clients.
Judy's experience spans residential properties, historic homes, condominiums, and investment purchases. He is known for combining detailed market analysis with a consultative communication style, helping clients understand both the immediate transaction and long-term implications. Through Washington Fine Properties, Judy continues to represent individual homeowners, first-time buyers, luxury clients, and property investors with an emphasis on preparation, responsiveness, and data-driven strategy.
The Washingtonian honor, along with his previous recognitions, underscores Judy's commitment to excellence in one of the nation's most competitive real estate markets. As the DC area continues to evolve, his expertise remains a constant for those navigating the complexities of buying or selling a home.
