Featured Property: 1113F Harvard St NW
Original List Price: $575,000.
List Price at Contract: $349,000. (Pricing history says $349,000. The final list reads $360,000., which is what the property settled for. My guess is that $349,000. was that sweet spot in pricing that draws multiple offers. It’s not unheard of for an agent to adjust the list to the sale price in cases where the contract ends up being higher.)
List Date: 05/30/2008
Days on Market: 282
Settled Sales Price: $360,000.
Settlement Date: 11/10//2009
Seller Subsidy: $0.
Bank Owned?: No. Seller is listed as non-owner occupant, so this may have been a rental unit.
Type Of Financing: Conventional with $72,000. Down payment (20% down)

I thought it was interesting that most of the comments from the Good Deal or Not (GDoN) post focused on the location of this property. I’d expect that the majority of buyers that I’ve recently worked with in this price range would be enthusiastic about the location, which is relatively close in to downtown. Most of the buyers that I work with tend to prefer either brand new construction or older properties with “character”, so it’s not surprising that something like this built in the late eighties had to dip a bit in price to attract attention. The mid-$300’s seems to be the appropriate pricing for these units at the moment, since there is currently another unit in this condo association that went under under contract within eight days that was listed at $355,000.
PoP posted this property as a GDoN after the unit had been reduced to $399,000. It had initially started off, back in late May of 2008, at a wishful list price of $575,000. It appears that there was an unsuccessful attempt to sell the property back in November/December 2005 in the high $400,000’s.

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!
