Luxury home sales in Potomac

Selling a luxury property in Potomac means selling into a small, well-informed field. In levy year 2025, 730 Potomac principal residences were assessed at $2,000,000 or more. Buyers at that level often know the competing houses by street. They’ll compare yours with the few that have sold recently, and with the ones that sat. Expect a top-tier buyer to have toured much of your competition already.

The house and its land decide that comparison. At this level, lot size, privacy and outbuildings move value as much as square footage does. RE-2 zoning means two-acre lots with up to 25% lot coverage, so pool houses, courts and guest quarters are part of what gets weighed. Each one needs a documented permit. A buyer’s inspector looks at those structures as hard as at the main house, so we gather the permit file before photos.

Taxes at closing grow with the price as well. For the slice of a price over $1,000,000, the county recordation charge rises to $11.35 per $500. Sellers who live outside Maryland and sell for $1,500,000 or more lose access to the state’s tentative refund on withholding. That’s worth knowing before you list, because both lines change what you walk away with.

Here’s what we do. We build a short list of your true competitors, sold and active, and walk your house against each one. Photography, a printed book and private previews come before any public launch. Sellers who value discretion over exposure should read about an off-market home sale in Potomac. Luxury home sales sets out the service in general, and if you’re still comparing who to hire, start with the Potomac real estate agent page. Countywide rules are gathered on our Montgomery County page. For a top tier defined by bedroom count, see Luxury home sales in Bethesda.
