Where the lot carries the price
Land is where the cities differ most. The state assesses land under detached houses at a median of $93.50 per square foot of lot in Chevy Chase, $72.60 in Bethesda and $44.90 in Takoma Park, against $8.90 in Poolesville.
At those rates the land under each city’s typical lot carries an assessed value of about $219,000 (9,000 sq ft) in Silver Spring, $666,000 (9,180 sq ft) in Bethesda, $280,000 (9,610 sq ft) in Rockville, $464,000 (15,330 sq ft) in Potomac and $796,000 (8,510 sq ft) in Chevy Chase.
Land values are the state’s assessments for every detached house on the roll, sold or not. Maryland reassesses each property once every three years, so these figures move slowly and lag the sales market.
