So much for the lively culture of the neighborhood.

Wealthy people aren't lively?

more time than not they aren't black

PP gets it. Historically the residents of SP have been middle and upper middle class of various races in nearly equal amounts. Truly a DC Unicorn. I hope SPs demographic fate doesnt end up mirroring WOTP.

Depends on how up market it goes, those wishes for continued price appreciation and basically hoping to whiten the neighborhood.

Um, no—whose “wish?” We like our diverse neighborhood, thank you very much. And there are definitely black families and other POC continuing so move in, and some AA older residents passing homes down to relatives, so the change to a WOTP type of neighborhood won’t happen very quickly.

Interesting new one. I had no idea some homes in SP have an indoor pool? My kid would love it, but I wonder whether that could be a negative for some buyers worried about safety and hassle..

It probably doesn't know it was renovated, but also, it's just an algorithm. A realtor could give you a better estimate.

I know that. I was pointing out the obvious flaw with RF. Shows my neighbor’s smaller house as $900. Also there is not a 4 bed shack to be had for $500k. It’s using comps from Silver Spring. You’d think an algorithm can be adjusted to differentiate with two different states.

DP. I just checked Redfin and no Silver Spring comps listed for my SP home. However, they did list comps from Takoma DC--odd that they don't limit to the immediate neighborhood.

Yeah I have Takoma too. Odd that I have SS as I’m on the few furthest streets from SS (near Walter Reed). I don’t care (I’m in real estate), I just think RF is a joke in that sense.

The whole pool area of that house is really weird. I assume it's one of those "endless" pools that has a flow so you can swim like a treadmill? They don't say that explicitly, but I can't figure out why else you'd want it. I also find it kind of odd that the area between that pool and the next room doesn't have a door or anything. You're just walking through the living room and OH HEY, A POOL.

Also, what's up with the restaurant bathroom-looking soap dispenser? Not that it can't be easily replaced, I just don't get it.

PP here. Yeah, I assumed it was an endless pool; otherwise two strokes and you're at the end. Didn't notice the first time, but yes, weird that there's no door. Won't the whole living room etc. smell like chlorine?

PP, ha I also noticed that the owner must be a lion enthusiast.

I'm a little terrified by the black trash bag colored curtains in the basement utility room.

OP is probably long gone, but I got a realtor's brochure in the mail today that said the ave. sale price in 2018 in Shepherd Park/Colonial Village/North Portal Estates was 923K. Not sure if accurate, but higher than I expected.

This is the winner out of all the recent ones I've seen recently in SP: https://www.redfin.com/DC/Washington/1310-Floral-St-NW-20012/home/10022668

Pretty cool what they did with the attic. I haven't seen a shower configured like that before.

I’m sure it’ll go fast. Happened to walk by yesterday and saw people touring.

Also, I love this block—very pretty with all the cherry blossoms in bloom.

Omg so cute. I am surprised it didn’t go the first weekend.

I don’t think they’re taking offers until after the open house (Sunday).
