“So the people who were renting 4201 Georgia vacated and I was trying to see if they were going to rent it again. Anyway, I tracked down the owners and they said the building was for sale and under contract.
Anyway… hoping somebody good bought it and something awesome goes in there. It is such a cool building….”
This could be huge. Stay tuned.
“Dear PoPville,
I thought you might be interested to know that the subject of one of your Good Deal or Not? columns– 1023 Otis Place in Columbia Heights — closed for $176,000 over asking (list price: $455,000; close price: $631,000), all cash buyer. This must be a record for the neighborhood. I know that the place received 23 offers (in less than three days) so I imagine there will be a lot of buzz about this price for a pre-renovated house in Columbia Heights.”

From a press release:
“Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) today introduced the District of Columbia Incentives for Business and Individual Investment Act to reauthorize the federal tax incentives for investment in economically distressed areas in the District of Columbia, commonly known as the D.C. empowerment zone, and the $5,000 first-time homebuyer tax credit in D.C., both of which expired at the end of 2011. The D.C. tax incentives, for the first time, were left out of the most recent congressional extension of temporary tax provisions, known as “tax extenders,” in the American Taxpayer Relief Act (ATRA). Norton, in her statement introducing the bill, said, “It would be tragic to single out the nation’s capital as the only empowerment zone city not to be renewed just as the eastern sections of the city are about to take off.” (more…)

“Dear Popville,
Has anyone bought a foreclosed home in DC and if so, could you describe the process and recommend an agent? The foreclosure listings I have read do not permit prior viewing of the property and want all-cash offers which are tough to swallow. Many thanks!”
