Most of the previous commenters did not think this property was much of a deal at the list price of $399,000. How about for $375,000. with $10,000. towards closing costs? This 1000+ square foot two bedroom condo in Columbia Heights features an 8’x16’ outdoor deck, which is an unusual feature for a condo in this price range. It was duly noted that the $257.40 condo fee was relatively low.
Several people pondered the prevalence of crime in this location. This amuses me a bit since no matter where a GDoN property is located, someone thinks there’s too much crime there.
Completely unrelated to pondering GDoNs, I wanted to mention something really awesome about the $8000. First Time Homebuyer Credit for homes bought in 2009. If you bought a home for the first time in 2009 and are within the income qualifying range, you can go ahead and claim that credit with your 2008 taxes. How cool is that?! Even if you already did your taxes and are going to buy your new place by the deadline of 1 December 2009, you can file an amendment to your 2008 return and get your cash this year! Here are the specifics.

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!
