Perusing the original Good Deal or Not (GDoN) post of this property, it struck me that an overwhelming majority called “good deal”. Frequent GDoN readers know that this, indeed, is a rarity. That was at the original list price of $345,000., so $315,000. plus $12,600. toward closing costs should look pretty sweet. For reference, recently converted condos down the street (the last one I listed at 2608 Sherman, 2BR, nicely upgraded and staged, sold in May 2009 for $299,990. with a $7500. subsidy) are selling in a similar price range.
Some mentioned that Sherman is a busy street to be on, and for sure, that was the major objection I heard when I had my client’s condo on the market. The lot size is a mere 869, but includes a bit of outdoor space. Love it or hate it, as one reader mentioned, the new owners should never have trouble giving directions to their very yellow house. I admire the listing agent’s optimism in noting that one of the conveniences of the property is that it is “close to Schools”.
The recent Seller purchased the property back in January 2009 when it was a foreclosure. The listing from that time period shows that it was priced at $189,000., and settled at $180,000. It was purchased with cash.

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!
