Location, location, location.
"East Bethesda" is the closest to a Metro Bethesda neighborhood. This house is also on Highland Ave., the widest and more beautiful street in East Bethesda. |

+1 it looks like it was built sideways with no front |

That happens very rarely in 20814. Probably a lot less often than in your neighborhood. |

? I used to live on Highland Avenue. As you go into the East Bethesda neighborhood, there are nicer streets. |

Umm you didn't get around the neighborhood much. Sleaford is wide, and the best street to live on is Harling down by Kentucky. |

If it doesn't sell by a certain date the Government is buying it, they are being transferred out of the country and it is part of their relocation package. It is common practice when you get a relocation practice to price the house too high when nobody buys it the government buys it and relists it and it will be a good bargain for the buyer. |

I hope you people never move into my neighborhood. I am sick of perfectly nice houses being torn down so cookie-cutter McMansions can be built out to the lot lines. Maybe you want to live in Camazotz, but I don't. |

| I love that neighborhood. One one end you have a park. On the other end you have downtown Bethesda. |

Thou doth protest too much. My guess is that this thread is one of the following: 1) created by an agent to get more exposure; 2) created by an agent to assess whether it was priced right; 3) created by an agent expecting some snarky and mean-spirited comments trashing the house and the price in a diabolical effort to convince the owners to lower the price. |

| I'm the OP. I know there's no way to prove this, but I really have no connection to this house or to the real estate business. I am finding these comments very useful, though, including that bit of insider info from 9:45... |

Look, I don't have any skin in the game so to speak. But your original post starts out with a denial that you are the agent, or an agent. Your next post includes 2 more denials, denying a connection to the house or the real estate business. 4 denials in 2 posts. Awfully defensive if you ask me. Your posts are also full of inconsistencies, both internally, and between the 2. Your first post talks about how the price of the house is "just not feasible" for you. In the next breadth, you ask whether there are reasons why you should not covet it. Again, very odd. Your next post then starts out defensively, and then remarks that you found the "inside info." prompted by your post to be interesting, for a house that you have already declared is "just not feasible" for you. Don't get me wrong - I think the house is cute, and I certainly wish I could live in that neighborhood. I found the post interesting b/c I figured that if you were an agent, it was a clever way of generating buzz, unless you were trying to manipulate the owners into lowering the price, in which case I'd day that's manipulative bordering on criminal genius. Finally, if you are truy not an agent, then I'm wrong and I'm sorry. Again, as for the house, it seems beautiful, and I walk through the neighborhood often - its as close to the metro as can be, has lovely streets and homes (even the tear-downs are generally attractive and not overdone) and there are always kids playing, and friendly smiling people all around. I covet! |

OP again. I'm bored, so I'll respond, however futile. My only posts have been the original post, the one at 22:03, and now this one. So, I'm not sure which posts you are comparing when you refer to inconsistencies. You are welcome to ask Jeff to track me down - I shudder at just how accurate a picture of my identity he can probably assemble from my posts.
I asked for reasons not to covet the house partly as a joke (sour grapes to console myself for not having a 1.25 million budget) and partly to learn - because I haven't been searching long enough to assess the pricing on this house or to be savvy to subtle defects. And yes, I do find the insider info very interesting, in a gossipy way. I also enjoy reading US Weekly, but that doesn't make me Jennifer Aniston. (OR DOES IT??? I'll never tell!) Lord, I hope the actual agent isn't combing through the open house sign-in sheets now, trying to figure out who to blame for this thread. |
