[quote=Anonymous]It’s the price combined with the location. People who can plonk $1.3 mil on a house don’t want to deal with the stuff on that block. It’s right on H street, and 8th is also a central bus route. Lots of folks hanging out on those corners, lots of smoking, lots of litter. It’s normal city stuff, and if this were a big condo building I don’t think people would blink. But the sorts of folks who are in the market for a row house like this, and can afford it, don’t like the idea of having their front door across the street from where a bunch of kids chill with their bikes every afternoon. It’s racist, but it’s true. They just overshot with the renovation and price. If they had kept it in the 800-900 range, there are lots of UMC buyers in DC who would jump at it and not care as much about the location. Rich people can afford to live in places where they don’t have to look at or think about anything they find unpleasant[/quote]
