Oopsie didn't see the previous post I wonder how the new homes in Old Towne are selling. |

Well I was right about this---285k. And to think they tried to do a FSBO for over 400k

I think one is under contract now. Hopefully with all the new investment in College Park and the construction of the Purple line will continue to help the area grow. I know the Stanley Martin homes next door in Riverdale Park are selling like crazy. Hopefully the bike path between Riverdale Park station and Calvert Hills will open soon. |

Thoughts on this new listing? Anybody go to the open house?

That's a nice house. I bike by there all the time, as the bike trail is in front of the house. Maybe a little high for the square footage, but in an excellent location. Walking distance to downtown College Park, College Park Metro & MARC station, and also walking distance to the new Riverdale Park Station with Whole Foods via the bike trail. |

Any other thoughts on this house? I was at the open house.
It needs some work in a handful of ways (windows, kitchen, basement, garage). |

I wanted to go to that open house but didn't. It's not badly priced IMO. In UP that house would be much more expensive. This one a 5 min walk to Whole Foods, restaurants, at least two playgrounds, and a 15 min. walk to the metro. In terms of walkability, it's pretty good
What are the basement issues? Many homes in this neighborhood need sump pumps. Most have original windows Actually I think $385k might be a good price for the house after looking at some comps. |

Yeah, it has a sump pump down there and there is a bit of water damage that must be from a time it must have flooded. And the flooring is just a bit ugly in general.
Which comps made you think it's worth $385k? |

$334 per sq. foot just seems rather high. |

I wish this home were marketed as a single family home: https://www.redfin.com/MD/College-Park/4605-Calvert-Rd-20740/home/11089292?utm_source=myredfin&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=recommendations_update&riftinfo=ZXY9ZW1haWwmbD03OTIzNjgwJnA9bGlzdGluZ191cGRhdGVzX3JlY29tbWVuZGF0aW9ucyZ0cz0xNTEyNjUyMzIzOTE4JmE9Y2xpY2smcz1yZWNvbW1lbmRhdGlvbnMmdD1hZGRyZXNzJmVtYWlsX2lkPTc5MjM2ODBfMTUxMjY1MjMyM182JnVwZGF0ZV90eXBlPTE0JmxpbHJfc2NvcmU9MC4xOTMzJmxpc3RpbmdfaWQ9Nzg1Nzc4OTEmcHJvcGVydHlfaWQ9MTEwODkyOTImcG9zaXRpb25fbnVtYmVyPTI=
I think there might be city credits if it were converted back to a single family residence |

I did, but it is under contract for more than we were willing to pay. A very nice house. |
