Labor Day weekend means a lighter-than-usual open house schedule across DC, but there are still plenty of worthwhile stops for buyers looking to get a jump on the fall market. From income-producing rowhomes in Columbia Heights and Capitol Hill to new construction and luxury properties in some of the District’s most sought-after neighborhoods, this quieter holiday weekend could be an opportunity to house hunt with a little less competition. Once Labor Day is in the rearview mirror, expect more buyers to return to the market—so getting out this weekend could mean seeing your next home before you’re fighting the post-summer crowds for it.

2812 Georgia Ave NW #5 — $595,000 — Columbia Heights
Open Sun. 2-4PM — Jason Lallis
“Good condo layouts are harder to find than they should be. This one gets it right. Unit #5 at 2812 Georgia Avenue is a bright, modern 2-bedroom, 2-bath home with 954 square feet, oversized windows, high ceilings, and a floor plan that uses the space intelligently. The open living area gets excellent natural light, while wide-plank floors give the home a clean, contemporary feel without trying too hard. The kitchen is one of the highlights: waterfall quartz, gas cooking, stainless steel appliances, generous cabinetry, and an island that works just as well for dinner as it does for your laptop on a Tuesday morning.”

“Dear PoPville,
Curious if the community knows anything about the elevated tracks that run over First Street NE and the Metropolitan Branch Trail by G Place NE (not G Street!).
It looks like it could be a straightforward extension of Amtrak or CSX tracks, but they dead end into a building that, according to my research, is an unused warehouse. So curious about the history and current usage!“
