Wow, I’m really digging the photos. What do you guys think of the renovations? This house was split into two units. Unit #2 has already gone under contract for $899,000. Does $799,000 sound reasonable for this 3 bed/3bath?

“516 Buchanan St NW just went on the market after month-long rehab, and I must say that the results really impressed me. I live a few doors down, and I’ve watched this house for the last couple of years as it went from rental property to vacant to rebirth. Prior to being rehabbed it had been on the market in as-is condition, and on at least one occasion it looked like it was going to sell as such. Eventually it went into foreclosure and was purchased for under $200k. The rear addition is new, and having watched the construction work I can tell you that the developer did much more than a facelift on the interior. I’ve been inside and the place really looks fantastic, and if I didn’t already own my house I would have been hugely tempted to buy the house before it was rehabbed and done the same job myself. I’m wondering what PoPville thinks of the job and whether it’s a good deal.”

What do you guys think – does $525,000 sound reasonable?

Well the location of these condos are pretty amazing. Though this is the first time I’ve seen a converted rowhouse translate into 1 bedroom condos. Unit #2 is a 1 bed/1.5 bath going for $409,000 (with a $220 condo fee). And Unit #1 is also a 1 bed/1.5 bath going for $439,000 (with a $220 condo fee). What do you think of the units themselves? Either price sound reasonable?

We judged this building about a year ago. As always, I psyched to be able to check out the inside. Which leads me to a question I’ve recently had – do you think it’s easier to sell a place with furniture in it? I have a tougher time appreciating it when it is empty. Of course we’ve seen some ridiculous furniture in GDoN posts. Which do prefer – furnished photos or vacant?

Anyway, what do you think of this condo? Does $595,000 sound reasonable for this 2 bed/2bath?

I believe I’ve featured this as HoTD before so I’m happy to finally get a look at the inside. I’m digging the master bedroom. Well this falls $100 short of the PoP house porn threshold – does $999,900 sound reasonable for this home with a 1 bedroom legal rental unit?

Thanks to a reader for sending this one in. She also notes this home made the Wall Street Journal. Last week’s house porn is going to be very tough to beat. What do you guys think of this one? I’m digging the pool, not so much the kitchen…

I walk by this house all the time and have really been looking forward to getting to check it out (virtually). What do you think of the reno? Do you think $539,000 sounds reasonable for this 2 bed/2.5 bath? I think it may be important to note that there is also a vacant lot next door also for sale…

We haven’t looked at a big building like this in a while so I thought it’d be interesting to check the prices. This one is a studio going for $314,900 with a $278 condo fee. Think that sounds reasonable given the location?

And because it’s a big building there were a couple more units for sale. A 2 bed/1 bath is going for $469,000 with a $470 condo fee. And a 1 bed/1 bath just went under contract for $425,000 with a $377 condo fee.

“The Columbia Heights rowhouse I lived in for three years just went on the market. I have a real soft spot for the place and would love to buy it, but the $ 585,000 asking price is out of my range. I’d love to know what your readers think!”

I think this makes for a nice contrast with yesterday’s GDoN that was divided into condos. Do you think $585,000 is reasonable for the 4 bed/2 bath home above?

Here’s a good example of a classic row house that was converted into three 2 bedroom condos. Firstly what do you think of the unit itself? Personally I think it looks pretty good. Unit #2 is going for $329,900. Does that sound reasonable for a 2 bed/2 bath in this location?

You can see Unit #1 here ($299,900) and Unit #3 here ($359,900).
