Kensington MD Luxury Real Estate: Selling Homes at $1M and Above

In Kensington ZIP 20895, the overall median sold price over the last 12 months was $885,000 (Bright MLS, 12 months ending September 30, 2026). Homes at $1M and above sit in the upper end of that market, and they need a different presentation. I'm James Buckley, owner of Canopy Property Group at eXp Realty and a certified luxury agent. Here's what I bring to that tier.

  1. Certified luxury agent: trained in luxury representation, marketing, and negotiation
  2. $750M+ in career volume, including Montgomery County homes in the $1M to $2M+ range
  3. Global syndication on Mansion Global, Robb Report, James Edition, MarketWatch Unique Homes, and UPMKT
  4. Georgetown Master's in Real Estate for valuation and market analysis
  5. Washingtonian Elite Producer and GCAAR Gold Award
  6. A private luxury buyer list, reached before your home hits the MLS when privacy matters
  7. Luxury production: architectural photography, cinematic video, custom brochures, and targeted digital ads
  8. Discreet off-market options when you want fewer showings and more control
  9. Local context in the copy: Antique Row, the MARC Brunswick Line, Ken-Gar Palisades Park, and weekend Beach Drive access between Knowles and Cedar
  10. 19+ years in Montgomery County: I know which finishes, lots, and locations command a premium in 20895

What does $1M+ look like in Kensington?

At $1M and above in 20895, buyers are often looking for updated single-family homes, larger lots, and addresses close to Howard Avenue, Connecticut Avenue, or the train. Some want a short walk to Antique Row and the Saturday farmers' market at the historic station. Others want space near Ken-Gar Palisades Park or an easy weekday MARC ride toward Silver Spring and Union Station.

Standard MLS syndication reaches only part of that audience. The photos, video, and agent credibility have to match the price.

How does the broader Kensington market compare to my results?
