Northern Virginia MarketWatch - January/February 2010
Average Sales Price
Northern Virginia MarketWatch - Average Sales Price
  • The average sales price levels for 2009 tracked very closely to those of 2004.
  • As indicated on page 1, there is very low supply, particularly for homes priced less than $500,000, so prices have firmed up at the lower end of the market. We have likely seen the last of any significant downward pressure on prices at that lower end.
  • However, there is still enough inventory of more expensive homes such that we do not expect any noticeable price appreciation this year.

Shirley's Episodes:

 

 

Sayonara, Small Space

Brad Burns owns a basement condo in a charming brownstone building that is located in DuPont Circle, one of Washington, D.C.'s most desirable neighborhoods. He just finished grad school and is ready to sell his 700-square-foot home and move on to something bigger and better. The two-bedroom, one-bath condo is perfect for someone who wants to live in a classy neighborhood, but can't afford top dollar for a home.

 

Prepping a Houseboat for Sale

Nautical homeowners Nan and Julie want to jump ship and upgrade from their 52-foot houseboat to a sea vessel that is more yacht-like and less house-like. But before they can hit the high seas in a speedy new craft, they need to sell their old houseboat. Docked in the Potomac River, in the heart of Washington, D.C., the 1988 model offers a spacious main cabin, ample galley kitchen and a stateroom that has a view of the Washington Monument.  

 

Cashing in on a Corner Lot

Brazilian bound Homeowner Greg Meeropol has been bitten by the Brazilian bug, so he's moving to South America. But, before he can say goodbye to Washington D.C., he needs to sell his house. Greg has lived in the unique, corner-lot house for over eight years. Located in a city neighborhood with a rich past, the historic 2,000-square-foot home use to be retail store. 

  1929 Craftsman Bungalow

Homeowners Jack Vice and Amy Bolten are about to be married. They live in an authentic Craftsman bungalow in suburban Maryland. After the wedding the couple wants to leave the suburbs for the city life of Washington, D.C. The historic 2,500-square-foot home was originally purchased from a Sears catalog in 1929. It sits on a large piece of property and offers a lot of countryside for the short commute to the city.
