Here’s my weekly roundup of the ten most expensive home sales in the region, as reported by American City Business Leads. The biggest deal was for a home on Georgetown’s N Street, ground zero for Washington’s media elite. That single street is home to Ben Bradlee and Sally Quinn, columnist Maureen Dowd, conservative-turned-liberal author David Brock, and TV anchor Tracey Neale.

• DC: 3
• Maryland: 3
• Virginia: 4

Last week Open House looked at the five DC Zip codes where prices are climbing the fastest. Here’s the same data for Montgomery County.

About 30 miles from DC, Montgomery Village is a planned community in central Montgomery County. Home to 40,000, it offers a wide range of housing styles and types—single-family homes, townhouses, and condos—plus three small lakes, seven pools, and 22 tennis courts. In 2006, 1,695 homes sold there at a median price of $315,000, a jump of almost 70 percent from 2003.
