What’s Going On in the DC Housing Market Right Now?

By PoP Sponsor (a)

The D.C. Metro real estate market remains strong in the most recent data released by ShowingTime featuring October sales data.

Buyers are still  seeing stiff competition and sales prices have continued to rise. Fortunately, in recent months more listings have come to the market easing some of that supply/demand imbalance. Sales data has shown that buyer demand has been strongest on single family homes and those with more square footage and outdoor space — due largely to the pandemic.

City life is hard to let go. Everything you need all within arm’s reach, and local spots that feel like they were designed specifically for you.

Each home boasts four finished levels — enough space for everyone to work, play and live without feeling on top of each other. Distinctive finishes and features make for a truly elegant interior, complete with a designer kitchen, airy owner’s bedroom, the latest in smart home and energy efficient technology, and a loft space that walks out onto your private rooftop terrace. Trenton Square at Ballston is the home you’ve been searching for.

Only 19 townhomes are available, so schedule your private appointment today: 703-520-0125 Trenton Square at Ballston. Ready for you now, with homes available for immediate delivery!

At Portrait Square, you’ll hang your bike in your garage, slide across the hardwood floors in your socks, grab a bottle from your designer kitchen, and head to your private rooftop terrace to toast the night. You’ll look out over Brookland and plan the next day’s adventures. So much life and art.

But hurry — only 4 homes are available in this exciting slice of Northeast D.C. Call and schedule your private model home tour today. Call 202-330-3509.
