The original listing can be seen here: here.

This property was described in the listing notes by the agent as livable and in need of renovation. This is a tough scenario to price in any case. Given that there were only four fee simple (house) sales in Foggy Bottom, including the subject property, since 1 January 2018, this is an incredibly difficult house to price.

Not only are there very few recent immediately nearby comparable settled sales (in current or after improved value condition) the hand full of houses that have sold are diverse in size and style. The subject, at $715,000. was the lowest recent sale, and they go up to $1,090,000. for a 2 bedroom 2.5 bath house.

In contrast, this area surrounding the George Washington University, and close to World Bank, etc., has had a total of 41 settled condo and co-op sales since the beginning of the year. Condos and co-ops in Foggy Bottom sold ranged in price from $190,000. to $907,000.

The listing agent for this transaction was Pamela Ryan-Brye with Long and Foster Real Estate, Inc. Raynelle Araque, also with Long and Foster Real Estate, Inc., 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!
