A real, disclosed price spread

Zillow's average value ran approximately $1,222,500 (up a modest 0.22% YoY), while separately cited median sale prices ran $1,375,000 (spring 2026) and $1,448,000 (June 2026).

The Gaithersburg comparison

Bethesda runs roughly 2.5x Gaithersburg's own average home value within the same Montgomery County -- a real, meaningful intra-county price gap worth knowing.
