At $1M and up, the inspections get longer, the loans get bigger, and the best listings disappear faster. Kensington ZIP 20895 as a whole had a median sold price of $885,000 and a median of 8 days on market over the 12 months ending September 30, 2026 (Bright MLS), so $1M+ homes sit in the upper end of that market. James Buckley at Canopy Property Group is a certified luxury agent with $750M+ in career sales volume and relationships across Montgomery County's luxury agent community.
The due diligence is heavier: inspections, appraisals, and title. Jumbo loans have their own qualifying rules. And there's less inventory at this tier, so the best homes rarely stay public long enough for buyers who aren't connected.
We still write an offer with financing and inspection contingencies to protect the buyer unless a different structure clearly fits the deal and your risk tolerance.

A buyer of mine purchased a home at $1,760,000, $65,000 below asking, using our market knowledge and long-term analysis. It sold 18 months later at $1,970,000. A luxury purchase is a lifestyle choice and a capital decision at the same time.
