Housing Complex: News and Fluff on D.C. Real Estate

Is the Price Right?

You got to be kidding me…

1902 9th Street, NW

Neighborhood: Shaw

Original Listing Price: $749,000 (Sept. 18, 2008)

Current Listing Price: $749,000 (Sept. 18, 2008)

Up the block, you’ll find D.C.’s most vibrant gay/sports bar and the rest of U Street’s grand array of nightlife offerings. Down the street, you’ll find crew turf wars. This three-bedroom home is “nicely updated” with a gourmet kitchen, leading to a “cute” patio, according to the listing. But, if you’re paying three quarters of a million dollars, you probably don’t want to wake up to a crime scene.

That’s more like it…

1608 4th Street, NW

Neighborhood: Shaw

Original Listing Price:$349,000 (Sept. 5, 2008)

Current Listing Price:$349,000 (Sept. 5, 2008)

So, the paint’s not all there, and the banister and doorway look like they’ve been through a few brutal storms. This three-bedroom row house is a few blocks from the Shaw-Howard University metro, and the agent remarks hint at pricing flexibility “Bring all offers, subject to 3rd party approval.”

    Um, do you live in Washington? 1600 4th Street isn’t anywhere near the U Street metro..

    Ahh! You’re right. I was thinking about the Shaw-Howard University stop. I’ll fix that.
