[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$850k for 3br/2ba. This is one of my favorite locations in the greater Hill, a quiet block right between Union Market and H St. Parking, upper level deck, in-law suite, solar panels.

This is my favorite of this bunch.  The lack of any real dining room space (they have a table staged against one wall) is an issue, though.  And I'd prefer a family room to a MIL suite, but that's personal preference.  Someone who could live in about 1,100 sqft with some rental income could live here...well, not cheaply, but not all [i]that[/i] expensively, either.  But I suspect this will go quickly.

[quote=Anonymous]$850 for 3br/1.5 ba. Ample outdoor space with a deck, garden, and garage.

Cute, with some clever use of space.  Seems kind of diminutive compared to the houses next to it, though, and the ceilings are lower than typical for Capitol Hill.  The third BR is teeny tiny—fine for a nursery or small home office, but it's going to be limiting for some buyers.  Still, this too should go quickly, I think.

[quote=Anonymous]$825 for 4br/2.5 ba. It's a re-list, so I should probably see if we've discussed it before. The kitchen needs work, and the interior in general has an 80s vibe to me. Still, a house this size on a one-way street so close to Lincoln Park shouldn't be sitting.

I don't recall having talked about this before.  I don't get why people paint the exterior of brick rowhouses that dark gray.  It's unattractive IMO and it can't do any favors for keeping it cool (not that the facade of a rowhouse probably plays much of a role in temperature regulation).  As you said, the inside needs some updates and lacks character.  But at $825k for 1880 sqft with a basement family room, I'm a little surprised it's sat on the market for two months.  I was also surprised that they relisted it without a price drop, but it looks like they tried to update a few problem areas (on the cheap).

[quote=Anonymous]$700k for 2br/2.5ba. Location on the corner of 8th and K isn't ideal, but the price is about right for this type of house in this neighborhood.

Have I seen this listing before, or is that yak art showing up in multiple stagings?  Otherwise—eh.  It's a perfectly fine condo alternative, I guess.  The location on 8th St. isn't ideal, but at least it's not too close to H.

[quote=Anonymous]$700k for 2br/1.5ba. It abuts an apartment building, doesn't have great curb appeal (but awww they tried with the picket fence), and is dwarfed by the homes around it. Not much I like about the inside either. But it's a condo alternative with opportunity to improve.

If I were in the market for a 900sqft condo alternative, I'd rather have this one than the one on 8th, personally.  The kitchen may look a bit more dated, but it has more counter space and doesn't look like it's from IKEA.  It also has full-sized W/D and a jet tub.  Yeah, it's near a big apartment building, but it's also an end unit.  I think what it needs most is better staging.[/quote]
