Why isn’t this house selling? McLean, VA

[Anonymous]

This house has been on the market for two years. New build. Why isn’t it selling?

It already looks dated.

Most of McLean above $2M isn’t selling right now, period

That is my reaction, too. So why do builders keep building these $3M plus homes? They just seem to be sitting. There are two more $3M houses around the block from this one currently being built.

Not sure. N Arlington 22207 is similar - decent amount of new construction above $2/3M starting to sit. But of course the upper end in McLean goes significantly higher.

And a fourth $3M home one street over. One neighborhood with 4 homes over $3M being built/newly built. Sitting.

Someone needs to cry “uncle!”

I’ve worked with the listing agent in a different transaction. I wasn’t the most impressed with how negotiations went so maybe they are dropping the ball on any potential leads.

I feel like I've seen this type of house popping up all over the place for years now. It's bland inside so $3M+ and then there's all the money to make it feel like your home. And for me, not enough land around it - but I may be an outlier in that regard. We stay in our busting at the seams house for the large wooded lot that it sits on.

Ugly and will age badly…

Ugly and bad design choices (like the banisters on the stairs).

This one near Mantua is similarly hideous. I can't believe they built this for general sale.

Soulless, cynical, tacky...and those light fixtures. Oof.

I think I would have to be very depressed to live in that house. Like I had already decided there would be no light or color in my life ever again.

Too bright and shiny. Has the feel of a fancy face doctors office.

I feel like the McMansion pendulum has swung from over-designed tackiness to under-designed tackiness. This place has all the charm of an empty modern-art museum.
