A crib sale? For real? I seriously thought it was a sale for baby’s cribs. Do people still really use “cribs” synonymously with apartments these days? A crib sale. Are they trying to hard? This one just rubs me the wrong way…

A taste:
“This Northwest D.C. neighborhood’s increasing residential and retail projects are sparking renewed interest among home-buyers. Multi-story loft and condo buildings are being built within walking distance of the Georgia Avenue-Petworth Metro station, making the area much more enticing for young professionals.”

So which ad is better this one or the one by the 9:30 club?

When I think of Sotheby’s Realty, I think of Georgetown or Kalorama or Gramercy Park. Now we can add upper Columbia Heights to the list.
Ed note: This house is located not too far from Taqueria Del Distrito Federal. A commenter mentioned the unpleasant sight of public urination on 14th St. Thus the title of this post. I know, I know, if you have to explain it then you shouldn’t use it. Damn.

Do you think it is harder to sell a house if it is painted in an unusual color like aqua blue even if the house is fresh on the inside? Would that affect your decision in purchasing a house?

Right now, street parking doesn’t seem to be a big problem. But I’ve often wondered if it would be worth it to put in a parking spot in my back yard. Lots of the rowhouses have spots that are accessible via the alleys. Do you think it is criminal to rip up some of your yard to pave it? Are we doomed to lose our plentiful on street parking as the Old Soldiers Home is developed and the many condos being built are completed?

I visited a really beautiful condo on 13th Street. It has an incredible view of the city, a very nice layout, big windows, an upstairs study and roof deck. Sounds pretty sweet, yeah? So what’s the catch? It was on the fourth floor and the building has no elevator. So if you don’t have kids no big deal yeah? There are many of these building in NYC that don’t have elevators. But I ask you: For over $400k in DC shouldn’t an elevator be included?

A reader just tipped me off to the fact that a home just sold on the 3500 block of New Hampshire Ave. for $659k. Do you think the success of Red Rocks and the burgeoning 11th St. corridor will help keep nearby homes at similar prices?

Beautiful renovation on Monroe St. near Columbia Heights Coffee. This is a corner unit that could of been destroyed with an ugly third floor addition but whoever did this job, did a fantastic job (at least from the outside). Has anyone checked out this place? Is it as nice on the inside as it is on the outside?

These are the condos being renovated across from Red Rocks on Park Road. How much are they going to go for? The potential seems fantastic.
