Although the listing agent of the subject property for today’s Good Deal of Not Revisted (GDoN-R) did not identify the neighborhood as Truxton Circle, I would have placed it there. P Street is a few short blocks south of where the original Truxton Circle” once existed. In October, I profiled a GDoN-R property on New Jersey Avenue located just a bit south and west of the Truxton Circle neighborhood. I made mention that Truxton Circle is certainly picking up, to which an anonymous commenter responded, “Truxton Circle is not ‘picking up’”.

So quick side question – the reader who requested this a GDoN sent the email 9 days ago but the redfin listing says it’s only been listed for 1 day – what’s up with that? Can anyone explain the process in which that happens? Shouldn’t the listing have be down for a certain period of time before the timeline gets reset?
