It was pretty clear that commenters to the original Good Deal or Not (GDoN) post expected the price of this home to get bid up. And bid up it did, to $60,000. over the listed price.

The home was not very large, but there’s definitely an appeal to many people for being in the heart of Capitol Hill (and this is in the actual subdivision of Capitol Hill, rather than in Old City). Since November 2010, in addition to the sale of the subject property, the subdivision of Capitol has seen exactly three fee simple sales under half a million dollars.

The reader is curious about what you guys think of the Sherman Ave streetscape project and how it affects prices. Also the fact that this went one went under contract in only 2 days. $299,800 sound right for this 2 bed/1 bath or you think it was bid higher?
