This property was listed prior to Labor Day. Inventory of active listings was seriously low at that moment, and the number of homes newly listed for sale shot up in many neighborhoods across DC the weekend following Labor Day. Buyers were in and out of town over the summer, making the buyer pool somewhat unpredictable. Agents were also reporting that many buyers at that time were waiting to see what new listings would come on the market after Labor Day.

While it sometimes seems like every house in DC sells over list price within the first week of launch, this home took a month and a half. (which feels like forever in DC real estate market time) and a $10,000. price reduction. Rather than going under contract from an offer made lower than the original price (we actually do not know whether low offers were made early and the Seller chose not to accept, or if no offers were made prior to the reduction), it sold above the reduced price with $0 subsidy, suggesting at least more than one interested party.

Located north of the H Street Corridor, in the NE neighborhood of Trinidad, this property is of a small scale compared to many DC rowhomes. It was fully gut renovated prior to this listing. You can see what it looked like pre-renovation in the pics on the 2015 listing, when it conveyed for $290,000.

The listing agent for this sale was George Hockaday-Bey affiliated with All Service Real Estate. Kai Zhang with Harbor Realty and Investments LLC assisted the Buyer.
