Feedback from buyers lately seems to be in favor of fully renovated properties, so it is not surprising that this property went under contract very quickly. Although located in a neighborhood with high buyer demand and low inventory, it was important for the listing agent to price well in relation to similarly finished properties to account for being located on busy Florida Avenue.

Mid-size properties at this level of finish in the neighborhood are typically selling mid-$600’s and into the low $700’s. Another recently renovated and similarly located property recently sold at 1 Rhode Island Ave NE. 1 Rhode Island Ave NW is larger than the subject property and sold at $636,500.

The listing agent for 81 Florida Ave NW was Kent Fowler with Senate Realty Corporation. Sandeep Kumar with Quick Sell Realty LLC represented the buyer.
