Silver Spring 20906 is in Montgomery, MD, part of the Washington DC Metro. The typical home value in Silver Spring 20906 is $441,929 (Zillow Home Value Index, August 2026), up 0.1% from a year earlier. Homes that sold went under contract in a median 45 days, and 22% of listings took a price cut (Redfin Data Center, period ending Aug 31, 2026). On Lotvox's market-leverage reading of that data, with 2.6 months of supply, neither buyers nor sellers hold a clear edge. The Lotvox Turnover Index is not published for 20906 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 20906 sits 35% below the county middle. Typical rent is $1,962 a month (Zillow Observed Rent Index, August 2026). Lotvox holds county assessor records for 22,028 properties in 20906.

2026-08-31
Redfin market data (county + ZIP), via Lotvox. As of 2026-08-31. Normal = same-month median of monthly rates, minimum 3 same-month points. Source window 3 months (flows shown per month). months_of_supply is not published at this grain (0 non-null rows measured); derived here as active listings / closed sales per month. A fresher supply-only read (82 new, 188 active, 2026-09-01, Realtor.com inventory (county + ZIP), via Lotvox) is available but is NOT used in the net — that source publishes no closed sales, so subtracting across it would mix two vintages.

METRO · Frederick, MD
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.
