“A great case of “what was the real estate agent thinking?” The photos are pretty bizarre , especially #6 (cookies on the stove?), #8 (wtf?), and #9 (not sure what’s going on here).”

From Apartment List’s Rentonomics blog:
“A 1 bedroom in the city of Washington DC averaged $1900 in March, while 2 bedrooms were $2830. This makes Washington DC the 3rd most expensive major US city, with a 2 bedroom price that’s almost triple the national average of $1000. Across the entire Washington DC metro area, rents averaged $2260 for a 2 bedroom, with renters paying 25% more to live in the city itself.”
A reader sends the letter above from 13th and Kennedy St, NW. His house is not for sale. Think it’s a genuine query from a couple wishing to move to DC or more of those standard “we’ll buy your house” letters?

“Dear PoPville,
This corner (5th and Q) used to belong to a house with an attached, street-facing garage — a major rarity in the area. (it also used to be the epicenter of a local gang turf war! fun facts!) The developers originally won permission to build 8 units, as I recall, but instead built 4 luxury spaces — and, as you can see, are trying to sell them for nearly $1.5 million each! Ed. Note: You can see a virtual tour here.
I guess my question is: who is this for? Some foreign potentate’s children studying at Georgetown Law? Are Russian oligarchs running out of Manhattan and London apartments to buy up? Is there a market, in Shaw, for apartment-homes that cost this much? The list price has many of us in the neighborhood scratching our heads.”
