The original listing can be seen here: here.
In 2017, there were a total of 18 residential properties that changed hands and settled for over five million dollars. All properties sold over $5M in DC last year were located in the Northwest quadrant. Two of these sales were of condo units (one at $6.5M and the other at $8.4M).
Trump effect? The end of DC real estate as we know it? Not exactly.
Those eighteen sales last year represented .194% of the total units (all fee simple, condo, and co-op ownership properties) sold in the District of Columbia in 2017. Admittedly, this is a slight increase from 2016 during which the over $5M market represented .164% of total sales, however, in 2015 the high, high end sales hit .194% and in 2014 they were at .226%. Even going back to 2010, the ratio of these sales in relation to the total market was .136%. In any case, the teeny tiny portion of the real estate market in DC at this level has been relatively consistent for years.
The listing agents for this transaction were Patrick Chauvin and Brad House with Compass (per disclosure above, the same brokerage company that the writer is affiliated with). Mark McFadden with Washington Fine Properties, LLC represented the Purchaser.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
