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 Metropolitan Regional Information Systems (MRIS), which is the local multiple listing system and/or Smartcharts by Showingtime.

Commenters to the original GDoN post called this one. At $1.4M, it was ahead of the market. The property ultimately settled for 76% of the original list price.
Including this transaction, there have been a total of eight properties sold over $1M in Brookland. One even exceeded the $1.4M price point (Listing agents for that 2016 sale were Shemaya Klar and Jake Abbott with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices PenFed Realty, and Robert Sanders with TTR Sotheby’s International Realty brought the buyer).
Reality check:
Average price for a detached single family house in the legal subdivision of Brookland based on all of 2017 is $686,081. In 2016, it was $666,064. Inventory is super, super low, and demand super high, so we may see that number push up this Spring.
For the commenters on the original thread that pondered the seven figure market East of the River, this is what you can get for $1.1M East of the River .
The listing agents for this transaction were John Mahshie and Ron Mangas Jr. with TTR Sotheby’s International Realty represented the Seller. Leyla Phelan, with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, 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!
