Real Estate Fresh Finds

Real Estate Fresh Finds is a weekly selection of newly-listed properties in the District, brought to you by Real Living At Home.

It’s another Wednesday and another week of 200+ new listings on the market which is good because we’re so short on inventory. Sit back and avoid doing some real work by checking out our suggested Fresh Finds below:

• If you ever thought that the 1% has better taste than the other 99%, this $5.5M Most Expensive Home of the Week proves that wrong with different (and bizarre) wall patterns in every room–the only thing missing is a Twin Peaks Red Room.
• A 3 bed/3.5 bath Petworth row home with over 2,000 total finished square feet and includes both off-street parking and a rear patio.
• “Supersized studio in rarely available [DC] Best Addresses building” has a much more convenient floor plan than most studios in the district.
• Your REO/Bank-Owned Property of the Week is one of those very rare, not trashed or dilapidated SFHs, but the downside is it’s listed at a typical DC row home price.
• It looks like a tudor from the front, condo building from the back and an outdated headache on the inside, but this Most Interesting Listing of the Week could become much more interesting with the right vision and appreciation of the unique.

While many of us were likely distracted this past week by ALL CAPS everything, now that the Cup and the team is home, we can get back to our everyday lives starting today-ish (depending on how hard you celebrated at the parade).

There are nearly 260 new listings this week, so check out some of our suggested Fresh Finds below:

• If you’ve ever wanted to take a shower or a bath and then immediately walk onto your balcony, this Most Expensive Home of the Week in Kalorama could be for you at the low price of $5.25Mil.
• A uniquely shaped 6-bedroom in Michigan Park had offers due yesterday, but if you like it and your offer is good enough, who knows what could happen?
• The Most Interesting Listing of the Week (says Petworth, but is clearly Brightwood) is a 5-unit condo building for sale, which means you could snag a 2-bedroom for yourself and rent the remaining 4 units, paying off that $999k price tag quickly.
• On the edge of Petworth, an “amazing renovation! 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths. No detail overlooked,” especially if you love quartz counters.
• A 5-bedroom in Eckington needs a ton of work, but at the right price in an “online auction event,” this REO/Bank-Owned Property of the Week could be a great investment.

The rebound has already occurred. With nearly 300 homes to hit the market within the past week, you have no excuse if you can’t find something worth checking out. Take a look at our suggested Fresh Finds below:

• For almost $4Mil, this Spring Valley Colonial with 5 beds, 5.5 bathrooms, theatre room, pool and a solarium, this is your Most Expensive Home of the Week.
• “All brick Cape Cod with slate roofs sits on one of the quietest blocks in the city.”
• Now this is what a skilled renovation looks like, but maybe it has a little too much staging on this Petworth 4-bedroom.
• At a $88k price tag, this SW 2-bedroom condo earns both Cheapest Home and Worst Photos of the Week, even though the description calls that mess “move in ready.”
• “Lovely 3 bedroom and 3 full bathroom in sought-after Brightwood.”

Only 157 homes have hit the market in the past week, but since we’re coming off of a holiday weekend, that’s no surprise to most. As we fully ramp into the summer market, we can expect that number to go up, but don’t remain complacent and get to looking today!

Check out some of our suggested Fresh Finds below:

• A 6 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom Victorian only shows one photo and the description simply says “Beautiful home in Dupont Circle! Needs some work,” but at $3Mil, this unknown-looking home is your Most Expensive Home of the Week.
• Recently back on the market and with a $50k price reduction, this “two-story luxury penthouse with beautiful modern aesthetic” is even more enticing.
• Petworth rowhome has 2,100+ square feet across 3 levels with “recently remodeled kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms.”
• It’s not a foreclosure, but based on the apparent no electricity and toilet sitting in the middle of the living room, these are most definitely the Worst Photos of the Week.
• It’s only a studio, but at $320k, this Southwest Waterfront condo at Potomac Place Tower is your REO/Bank-Owned Property of the Week.

The inventory keeps going up with over 300 new listings that have hit the market in the past week. We selected 5 you might like, so take a look at our suggested Fresh Finds below:

• If you’ve ever wanted a 6 bedroom, 7.5 bathroom Colonial with a pool, (shared) tennis court and your very own Twin Peaks-esque ‘Red Room,’ across “3/4 acre of incredible park-like grounds,” then this $6.95 Mil Most Expensive Home of the Week is for you.
• A picturesque single-family Craftsman in North Cleveland Park that won’t last long, so act fast since offers are due at 5 p.m. tonight.
• This incredibly styled Petworth row home has everything you could want inside, but if I was buying, my only request would be to repaint the exterior to something less poop-green.
• This 2 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom has 3 wood-burning fireplace, including one in the master bedroom suite and it’s only a couple blocks from the Potomac Ave. Metro.
• Well, your REO/Bank-Owned Property of the Week (& Cheapest) appears unlivable at the moment, but at a $6k list price, this one might be worth a buy just to hold onto as the Barry Farm area inevitably undergoes major changes.

There’s even more new listings in DC this week, topping out at 262 as of Tuesday.

Nearly 130 of them fall below the $600k price range, so if you’re looking for a new home, get to touring before the inventory numbers start sliding in the other direction. Take a look at our suggested Fresh Finds below:

• Listed at $5.75Mil, this “impressive 4,500 sq.ft. 3BR/3.5BA penthouse on 2 levels with interior design elements by Barry Dixon” is your Most Expensive Home of the Week.
• Trinidad row home just two blocks from H Street has amazing potential in a neighborhood that has only seen increases in property value since the corridor development.
• A 4 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom townhouse in Petworth that’s been so renovated it almost looks like a brand-new home.
• The perfectly sized 2-bedroom on K Street has everything you need, including a community fitness center and a rooftop deck.
• Deep in NW DC is a $230k 1-bedroom condo that could use some reno, making it the ideal bachelor/ette pad or rental unit as your REO/Bank-Owned Property of the Week.

We keep hearing people complaining about a lack of housing inventory, but for at least the 4th Fresh Finds in a row, there are over 240+ listings to hit the market in DC this week. And don’t worry, it’s not just $700k+ row houses. Take a look below:

• The Most Expensive Home of the Week is a near $9Mil 6k square foot 4 bed/6 bath/1 sauna/1 gym penthouse overlooking the Georgetown Waterfront with an “additional 3,500 sq. ft. of outdoor terraces with pool directly overlooking Potomac River.”
• “Completely renovated 3 bed/2.5 bath end-unit row home with designer finishes” just blocks away from Union Station.
• One half of a double Petworth row home lists it as 3-bedroom on 4 levels, but with a lack of information on the listing, one would assume the 2nd upper level is just an attic or else they would have mentioned it.
• Your Cheapest Home of the Week is (surprisingly) a studio in Dupont for $175k, but buyers interested beware: the listing only shows community photos so the inside can’t be very appealing.
• “No detail overlooked in the creation of this exquisite home” in the Palisades, featuring 5 bedrooms across 4 levels and nearly 5k finished square feet.

It’s another week with over 240 new listings to hit the market, which means if you can’t find your new dream home, you might not be looking hard enough. Or you need a new agent. Whichever it is, take a look at our suggested Fresh Finds and maybe you’ll end that dry spell.

• Your Most Expensive Home of the Week is a 7,500 square foot manor in Massachusetts Avenue Heights listed at $5.74Mil with 5 bedrooms, 8.5 bathrooms and a secluded backyard pool and patio.
• This 4-bedroom Petworth row home with a floor plan that’s a bit more conventional than the open ones we see nowadays.
• Two opposing price points, but our Worst Photos of the Week is a tie between this $89k condo in SE that clearly has no electricity and this $1.1Mil blurry home that includes an elderly walker in the basement.
• A spacious 2 bed/2 bath unit just a short walk away from the Mt. Vernon Square/Convention Center Metro Station.
• This studio in Foggy Bottom might not have a ton of square footage, but for $220k, this condo is your Cheapest Home of the Week.

Out of the 240 new listings in the district, almost half of them are condos.

So if you’re in the market for easy living that only requires you to deal with the issues within your own walls, this is a good week to get looking. We found some intriguing condos and more with our Fresh Finds below:

• With 8 bedrooms on 4 levels across 6,500 sq. ft., this $3.99 mil Georgian Colonial in Chevy Chase is your Most Expensive Home of the Week.
• 2-level Logan Heights condo back on the market and it’s $15k cheaper.
• What could you do with a 5-bedroom row home in Petworth?
• It definitely could use some updating, but a 1-bedroom for $169k in Brightwood might be worth the cost of pulling this unit out of whatever era in which it’s stuck.
• Mount Pleasant row home could use some gutting and walls knocked out, but if you’re a savvy renovator, this REO/Bank-Owned Property of the Week could be yours.

• For $6.5mil, your Most Expensive Home of the Week is this 4,600 sq. ft. 3 bed, 3.5 bath condo “offered fully-furnished and accessorized,” meaning all that abstract art and sculptures could be yours in the “newly renovated luxury condominiums” of Ward Tower.
• A fully-updated 5 bedroom Tudor in Brightwood has a “$100k gourmet chef’s kitchen” and is equipped with smart home tech. and separate theater room with a 120″ screen.

• One bed, one bath unit in a “DC Best Address” condominium building, the Kenesaw.
• Your Foreclosure of the Week is an “Industrial CHIC LOFT! 2-Level Penthouse Condo,” but only shows one picture, so you’ll have to go check this one out to see if the $600k price tag is a deal or not.
