Another example of runaway prices in Arlington

The listing agent is the team lead for the same agency that somehow bought a house on N Frederick in 22203 for $250K below list. At the time of sale the land alone was worth close to $1M but they got the entire property for $750K - while acting as the buyers and sellers agent.

* Should have said $250K below market value / recent comps, not list - it was already pending when it “hit the market”

People do everything to block measures like
missing middle and then proceed to complain about home prices increases. You’re blocking supply!!!!!!

Sounds like they are fleecing estates. Same thing has happened in our very desirable neighborhood in NW DC - a certain agent absolutely hoses estates and gets the property for a deep discount compared to FMV.

Neighborhood is next level amazing, walkable to freaking Ballston? Close-in Arlington is one of the top neighborhoods to live in the US.

I understand some of the gripes but I appreciate the tasteful brick family room addition. Ideally you’d pop the top of that and maybe have room for a true master suite.

FYA if you want walkability to Ballston and want to save $500K-$1M for a comparable home, look at Arlington Forest and the parts of Bluemont closer to Ballston off the trail.

You can get a SFH for $1M ish with the same length walk as this home to downtown Ballston and arguably better schools.

It’s a long walk to ballston. I lived in that neighborhood for a decade and we went to Clarendon all the time. We moved west of ballston when we had little kids because Lee were on Irving st between Pershing and 10th and it was/is main cut through with cars not traveling at neighborhood speeds.

We made a killing on our house - and Clarendon kind of peaked when we were there.

Nice area - but do not regret leaving that neighborhood…other than Jackson st on Halloween not really that tight of a neighborhood.
