Many homes went under contract in McLean this week—has the market started to heat up?

Wow. That is an incredible price for that.

The large lot can be subdivided and the owners didn’t realize that when they priced it.

Looks like it has been updated. It's now showing a much more reasonable sale price of $1.282M.

That makes sense, just a typo

This one -- Falls Church address, zoned to McLean hs, (which we had a thread on https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1314398.page ) -- ended up going for 130k over list. It was pending within two days and it looks like it closed today.

The 1.5-1.7 price point in NW is tough- we didn’t see much and there is basically nothing within easy walking distance of Metro. We feel like we got really lucky!

Our HHI is 1.2M. We could has gone up but are comfortable with that price. We are pretty risk adverse people in general.

Glad you shared that, but that's not all the HHI at this price range

That lot can not be subdivided. It's a quarter acre lot.

Looks like it was a typo. The sale price has been changed to $1,282,000.

Don't know if it sold for full price but guessing pretty close to it.

I mean, this is … normal. What’s remarkable about someone selling a house 2 weeks after listing it?

And why be so cryptic about the location. It’s an anonymous forum.

Apologies, I thought I’d put that in. Bethesda 20816. The house was listed for $1.8m.

It went under contract in 7 days for a little over $1.9m and was sold 2 weeks later. Are people really doing these super fast closings now? Maybe a cash sale?

Surprised this one in Cherrydale is sitting. We toured it and it was well done. Maybe the 3 beds vs 4 on the 2nd floor is a dealbreaker for many?

I think it’s probably the apartment building in the backyard. Picture 25 with the soaking tub in front of a giant window overlooking an apartment building is a choice.

I’m seeing a lot of new builds sit.

I commend this builder for using some bring and not just vinyl on the facade. But I am kind of over the swooping roof line (better than modern farmhouse, though!).

The issue is it backs up to an apartment building, and is ~100 feet from a Safeway and a big lighted parking lot.

Those are all going to bring noise and light pollution, including at night (grocery stores have lights on and people/trucks restocking overnight)

Those things are deterrents for someone spending $2.2 million. With that budget I’d seek out a house tucked a few blocks away on a quieter street.
