I think everything I’ve written about the real estate market in DC over the past few months has read something like this…“blah blah blah SCARCITY blah blah blah LACK OF ACTIVE INVENTORY blah blah blah FOUR PERCENT (and lower) MORTGAGE INTEREST RATES.” For better or worse, that’s pretty much how it goes right now.

Continues after the jump.

In this situation, we’re (probably) looking at raw product for a developer. The outcome of this story is not unlike another recent Good Deal or Not Revisited (GDoN-R). On the back end of this deal, in this Columbia Heights location, a large renovated house might sell for a million dollars. Boutique condos are also likely to be desirable .

Per the tax records, it appears that this rather large house last transferred as a sale in 1994 for $105,000. In 2011, a family member took possession, possibly as part of an estate.

Thanks to commenter “Sir Douchy” on the original GDoN post for mentioning the cameo of this block in “The Day the Earth Stood Still.” I haven’t had a chance to check it out yet, but I’ll take your word for it. My personal favorite movie featuring DC residential neighborhoods (and aliens) is “Mars Attacks”.

Does “loan denied” mean a contract fell through? What does “pro ss negotiator retaine” mean?
