All those new young’uns moving into D.C. might be part of “generation rent,” but if you’re looking for a place to buy, you know that this can be a challenging market. But according to new research from Trulia, there’s still hope to be had.

D.C.-area home prices on the whole were up in August, bucking the national trend. But some Maryland and Virginia homes appeared to be really priced to move in the third quarter of this year, according to data provided by ZipRealty. Three ZIP Codes in D.C. proper appeared on the discount brokerage’s “cool” list (20032, 20037 and 20024), which is for areas where homes are selling below list price on average.

Spring homebuying season (and the accompanying federal tax credit) have come and gone. According to data from ZipRealty, the outer Virginia suburbs were where the action was the second quarter. For example, in the “hottest” ZIP, 20109 in Manassas, buyers were willing to pay 1.61 percent above the list price. The second hottest market was also in Manassas, and two of the top 10 were in Sterling.
