Nice price, but the location outside the beltway near 193 blows.

That is a great neighborhood.

No, check the distance to the school and the few roads (2 lane) roads to get there. 193 is a pisser. Better to live inside the Beltway in Mclean.

The house on Riding Ridge went under contract in a few days, so obviously someone disagrees with you.

I only see worse and worse options for ridiculous price now… so maybe the Greenway Height’s 1.6 tear down was a good deal? Can’t understand this market lol

It has new windows, it maybe updated inside.

So this piece of crap with some cheap lipstick is worth 1.2 million dollars?

I don't think someone would pay $1.2M for a teardown in that location, so either it's a nice update inside or there's a delusional seller.

As the inventory is quite low in those pyramids, people are asking for a lot of money when they sell.

Actually, it escalated to more than $1.2M. If you want list price, you use Revlon lipstick; if you want above list, you use Chanel lipstick.

Enjoy, Manassas.

Lot size is good, Kent Gardens is desirable. I don’t think it is too $ for a tear down, these days.

It's a nice enough home but 1.2M for 2100 sq ft?!

DP. Where are you seeing that this escalated to more than $1.2M when I click above it says that it hasn’t hit the market yet? I’m going to reserve judgment until we see the interior but it is weird to me that they wouldn’t power wash that giant brown stain on the side of the house.

The listing has been updated with additional pictures.

It's definitely being sold as a flip, not a tear-down. It's not a high-end flip, but it should sell for about $1.15M. They'd actually get more if it were zoned to Haycock in Falls Church rather than Kent Gardens in McLean.

Pending. Can’t wait to see what it went for.

Sold 75k over asking for a very quick closing - probably a cash buyer?

OP, have you found anything yet?

But then it will no longer be a "coveted" area -- just another Tysons with low income families in two bedroom apartments.

Interesting. So the apartments are going to cause the area to be moved further away from dc?

There are no apartments going up in McLean. Just $2+ condos.

OP here -- no, not yet. It's nice to see SOME inventory going up here and there, but they're definitely houses with some glaring issue (right by a highway, septic issues, etc.) that are coming out because the market is still so hot.

Like everyone we struggle with whether the market is "buy now before it gets worse" or "it's so bad it's gotta get better". We want to move out of our DC rowhome because of space, schools and safety but all in all we do love it and are happy to stay for a little while longer until we find something we actually like. Keeping my fingers crossed that the prices are just from low inventory and will eventually level out, but I'm also very nervous that if I wait a few more months we'll be priced out of the McLean completely

That home isn't selling fast despite it's cheap price because it's in the food zone,

I don’t think this home is in a flood zone. It’s not selling because the exterior is ugly and it’s a cheap flip. There was a house on Kirby that was around the same price in a flood zone that sat for awhile but eventually sold.

It is in the pimmit creek flood zone, the price is cheap even for Kent gardens
