Wow, this is an interesting one. I like the location though it is a bit small. This may be the least expensive GDoN ever posted. $149,900 sound reasonable for this 2 bed/1 bath?

Well I think this one looks pretty good. It’s looks nicely done though I’m a bit frightened by the “As-Is condition” in the description. What do you guys think – looks good? $320,000 sound reasonable?

It’s very rare that I find condos that qualify for House Porn but this is most definitely one of them. You have to check out the virtual tour. You like the style? It was originally going for $1,275,000 but is now on the market for $1,100,000. Is this some proper condo porn?

I think it’s a bit of a stretch to call this area Columbia Heights. Nevertheless, it seems like a nice reno and I should not it is located across the street from the Bruce-Monroe school set for demolition this week. It was originally priced at $424,126 but is now on the market for $399,999. Sound reasonable?

We’ve judged this pop up and the next door neighbor before which most people thought looked good. I always to get a chance to see inside the houses we’ve judged on the outside.
I think location is pretty great and the photos look good too. What do you think of the reno? Does $599,000 sound reasonable for the 2 bed/2 bath? Note that Unit #2 is already under contract for $649,000.

I’ve noticed that Good Deal or Not (GDoN) commenters tend not to be fans of small houses, but as one poster suggested, there are definitely people who don’t want to own a condo but also don’t want a lot of house to take care of. As mentioned by anothermous, this was the fifth sale on the block this year, which is certainly evidence of the desirability of the location. Comparable sales can be seen here. Continues after the jump. (more…)

Well, I think there is no question that this is a good looking condo. The question is how far north are you willing to live? Do you like the style of this condo? I gotta say I’ve never seen a condo for this price look this good. Do you think $319,000 sounds reasonable?

Wow. Yeah. Wow. Not much more I can say about this one. I’ve walked by this a few times on my to the Phillips Collection and I just assumed it was split into condos. How does this one rank among house porn posts? It’s yours for $3,900,000.
