Last night at our Red Carpet Event we talked prices. In June and July, homes were generally selling between 96% and 97% of list, but there are some outliers. In Montgomery County, Germantown homes sold at 98.2% of their list price in June and July. In Fairfax County, Springfield prices held tough at 98% of… Read More
A while back I did a blog entry called “Close to DC for under $500,000” about single family homes in Takoma Park. Today I decided to get choosier and focus on the same audience, but for Silver Spring. This is so close to DC that you urbanites should keep reading. This is for people and families who… Read More
What a gorgeous weekend to get out there and scout for housing possibilities! Below are some different types of properties that have reduced in price. Are you most interested in a close-in location, a large luxury home, or a fixer-upper opportunity? They’re all here. I have included this as a “DC” posting because two of my choices are so… Read More
There are quite a few condo buildings on or near upper Wisconsin Ave. traveling from the Friendship Heights area of D.C. up through Chevy Chase and Bethesda. I have been ogling this one at 4301 Military Rd., N.W. ever since it went up.

I hear about a lot of hand-wringing over the high median price of homes in Bethesda – somewhere up over $900,000. Remember, this is a median, meaning half of homes are higher in price, half are lower. Don’t get scared away before you’ve started looking. A scared buyer was the inspiration behind my recent blog entitled ”Close to DC for under $500k.” But… Read More
I have mixed feelings about covering foreclosed homes for sale. There have been several of them in Silver Spring over the last few months but fewer, it seems, than in NOVA. It is still rare in Bethesda and Chevy Chase. It must be very sad for the former owners. At the same time, someone is… Read More
I was reading a “Mom” blog yesterday and came across someone who was depressed because she faced a trade-off between getting a much-needed larger house or lengthening her husband’s already lengthy commute to DC from Gaithersburg. She was outraged by the “average median house price in Montgomery County of over $900,000.” Okay. I get the problem –… Read More
This may be your dream house. This is definitely a house I am telling my friends about. It is a traditional, solidly built, 3-bed/2.5 bath colonial, on a FLAT corner lot in wonderful Woodacres, Bethesda. If you know this area, you know how rare a flat lot is. You also know how sought-after Woodacres is, especially for families… Read More
