Potomac 20854 is in Montgomery, MD, part of the Washington DC Metro. The typical home value in Potomac 20854 is $1,266,150 (Zillow Home Value Index, August 2026), up 0.3% from a year earlier. Homes that sold went under contract in a median 34 days, and 13% of listings took a price cut (Redfin Data Center, period ending Aug 31, 2026). On Lotvox's market-leverage reading of that data, with 2.2 months of supply, neither buyers nor sellers hold a clear edge. The Lotvox Turnover Index is not published for 20854 yet: it appears only where a held-out test on the county's recorded sales beats chance. Across Montgomery's 44 ZIPs with a Zillow value, the middle one is $676,667, so 20854 sits 87% above the county middle. Typical rent is $4,488 a month (Zillow Observed Rent Index, August 2026). Lotvox holds county assessor records for 17,787 properties in 20854.

Price Bands — the median behind the median

A single median rises whenever expensive homes become a bigger share of what sells, even if no tier got more expensive. These are the tiers underneath it, computed from recorded arms-length deed transactions in Montgomery.

No mix-shift history for this area. no geography from this ZIP up to metro has 8+ quarters of 10+ recorded arms-length sales across at least 4 price tiers. Trends are drawn only from recorded transactions; the last-sale snapshot above cannot carry a time series, because a property that sold twice keeps only its latest sale — which drags the history upward through the tiers and would invent the very mix shift this section exists to test for.
