Good Deal or Not Revisited (GDoN-R) is a weekly post that reviews the settled sales data of a recent individual real estate transaction in the District of Columbia. Each post is intended as a case study and a snapshot of the real estate market at a particular moment in time. GDoN-R generally posts on Friday in the late morning.
GDoN-R has been written exclusively for PoPville since 2009 by Suzanne Des Marais. Suzanne is a practicing Realtor with Compass. Unless specifically noted, neither she nor the company that she is affiliated with represented any of the parties or were directly involved in the transaction reported below. Unless otherwise noted, the source of information is MRIS (Metropolitan Regional Information Systems), which is the local multiple listing system and/or Smartcharts by Showingtime.

Every once in a while, a house’s re-visit turns up a history of a number of sales within a span of time. These can be useful to look at as an individual case study of the rapid shift in affordability in the District.
You can also see the history of technology within the multiple listing system, which has been around in its current form since the mid-1990’s. For example, earlier listings will have pics taken by the MRIS photographer of the front exterior days after a property hit the market. Agents didn’t have digital cameras, let alone smart phones, back then. The 2007 listing is the first one with more than a single image. Check out the difference in the photos from 2007 compared to 2011. Then go look at the pics for the current listing.

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
