[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think both 8th Street houses are far enough from the loitering at 8th & H.  The first house was insane to list so high initially. The 2nd house has really tiny bedrooms and probably should have waited until Jan/Feb to list instead of December.[/quote]

Disagree. While 8th & H is uniquely bad, there's also often tons of people at the corner of 8th & K. The house near K Street, in particular, is problematic because there is a bus stop right in front of it. And the house further north suffers from being near Florida Avenue. It's just not a super pleasant strip of residential homes because there are always so many people around. And it's not like living near a strip of restaurants or something. It's just random strangers, all the time. It's a weird mix because if it was a commercial strip, it would be fine (because all the homes would be above street level, in apartments, and because people would know going in that it was a busy area with lots of street traffic). But it's entirely residential, without a single business on the street. It just winds up feeling transient and unpleasant.[/quote]

This house is across the street from one of those listed and sold quickly and above the listing price https://www.redfin.com/DC/Washington/729-K-St-NE-20002/home/9901021[/quote]

Yes, that's a 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath, renovated row house with a big yard (i.e. large street buffer) that sold for just over 900k. Of course it sold quickly, as that's impossible to come by in this area. Move that house south of H, or even onto another stretch of K or I street, and it would have gone for over a million.

There's an 8th street discount, at least for the stretch between H and Florida.[/quote]

Like this one, a block away. Also a 4/3.5 on a corner lot with a decent sized yard. Nicer upgrades but less outdoor space and it's a narrower, smaller home. It went for just under 1.2m.[/quote]

Whoops, forgot the link: https://www.redfin.com/DC/Washington/1101-7th-St-NE-20002/home/9900901[/quote]
