The multiple listing system in the Washington, DC Metro region first went online as a dial up (not internet based until a few years later) in the mid 1990’s. Prior to listings being available on this closed computer system to agents only, listings were printed out for each real estate office in an MLS book. Every once in a while, while poking through listing history for a Good Deal or Not Revisited post, there is a house that has a few old listings which give us a bit of a time capsule view into the District’s real estate market.
This is a 104 year old house, so consider that this is just a small fraction of her story, over the last twenty one years:
Listed in September 1995 for $180,000. Sold for $180,000. Total taxes: $700. 3 days on the market (unusually quick for back then).
3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths. No pictures and no remarks. At that time, the agent would put the listing info into the system and several days later, the multiple listing system would send out a photographer to take a pic of the front of the property. No interior pics were included until many years later. Buyers were 100% reliant upon agents to pick out listings to show them since there was no consumer facing access to listings.
Listed in July 1996 for $108,000. It settled in October 1996 for $104,000. with a $2500. seller subsidy. 63 days on market. Still 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths. Here are the remarks: (more…)
The 209 Upshur Street NW is currently home to the Gap Community Child Development Center. The real estate listing says:
“Fully occupied asset with strong NNN cash flow with fixed annual increases through 2024. Conveniently situated in the Petworth Neighborhood with proximity to Old Soldier’s Home, Washington Hospital Center, and growing retail along Upshur. Ideal 1031 Exchange. 7.65% Cap.”
It’s yours for $4,400,000.

This home is a great example of a restored bungalow, with what appears to be the original layout and finishes preserved. There is a lot of unpainted wood trim and gorgeous floors. The down sides of these homes for modern users tend to be the small room sizes and single bathroom (hence why so many homes do not retain their original features to sell in the current market). In this case, the basement remains unfinished (although the attic offers additional living space.) (more…)

In contrast to last week’s U Street area Studio that settled at $295,000. (or $716 per square foot), this week our featured property is a detached single family house in SE DC that sold for a net of $356,217.47 (the seller credit apparently included 53 cents). No, it’s not downtown DC, but it’s interesting to check out the options in other parts of the District. (more…)
