Perseverance, a good solid price reduction, and dwindling inventory finally resulted in a settled sale for this upper Columbia Heights property. Located just a tad over half a mile from DC USA (referred to in the listing as “USA Mini Mall”), my buyers in this price range would consider this close in. It looks like the Seller invested in several updates since it was purchased during the pre-Target era back in the 1997 for $139,000. Someone noted in the “Good Deal or Not” (GDoN) comments that being an end unit was not an advantage, but I find that people like the extra windows and not having an immediate neighbor on one side.
The original GDoN post ran last November, shortly after the house was first listed. With the combination of insanely low mortgage interest rates and the looming deadline of the Federal First Time Homebuyers Tax Credit, Fall 2009 is finding us in a very different market than the same timeframe in 2008.

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!
