The District is still on its holiday hiatus with Christmas falling on a Monday and New Years Eve not until Sunday. If you’re one of the few still here enjoying the excess parking, light traffic and lack of tourists, why not take advantage of all the empty roads to visit some of the (few) open houses this weekend:

And finally, Happy New Year to all the PoPville readers!


Christmas weekend brings us one of the lowest counts of open houses in the District all year. If you’re in the market and you see one, you should know that the seller is extremely motivated. As we’re closing down our offices early today, we’ve included some simple live-feed links below to help you find some of the few opens and go house shopping this weekend.

It’s that time of year when things start to slow as people stop for a few days to think about buying presents for others rather than themselves. While the open house list is a lot shorter this week, there are still 40+ new open houses to explore as well as another 100+ opens for houses that have been on the market for a while. While everyone else is out pretending to be Santa, check out some of our recommended open houses to see:

So if your favorite rooftop deck or brunch spot aren’t accessible because of the cold, why not check out some of our recommended DC Open Houses below:
