Too low? Too high?? We are contemplating a possible move to a bigger house on Capitol Hill (currently in a 3/2.5 valued at approx 1.3 or so in the Brent district).

I saw it today -overall impression was "meh." The photographs look much better than the place in person. Place feels/seems much smaller; lots of dated and old finishes. Would need a lot of updating/work (not at all turn key as it seems in photos). Basement apartment smells super musty. Not worth 1.6 million IMO!

2) 418 10th St SE (4br/2.5 BA across 2 units - $900k). I don't love this location - it's kind of busy - but this is priced right for a 3br house upstairs and short term rental downstairs

604 E is contingent. That was fast.

10th St pending. Anything under $1m flies right now

Eh, not really. Some of the houses listed below need to be gutted, sure, but some of them seem perfectly fine and they're still sitting.

Should have specified for the H Street fans in the chat... anything <$1m in Historic / close to the close-in Hill. 10th and G is not comparable.

I think $1.6m is optimistic for a 3br but we'll see, this is a great house (even if I'd personally want to un-do the redone bathroom)

- 1137 N. North Carolina NE - 4 bed / 3.5 bath "coming soon" at $1.15m. 3 true bedrooms upstairs plus the finished basement, parking, yard, great light. I love this house. Think this will go quickly and over ask ($1.25 feels right given east of Lincoln Park?).

I’m surprised at the price for 1337 NC Ave. I get listing a little low to encourage a bidding war but that house has so much going for it: 4 beds, practically on Lincoln Park, zoned to Maury. Unless there’s something I can’t see, I think it’s really underpriced.

This is the kind of property I'm looking for but timing was off.

Bidding wars have been escalating to 100k-200k over so far this season. $1.25-$1.35m feels right to me given that it’s East of Lincoln park (which some feel strongly about like the crime fear mongering PP above). I don’t see this going for $1.5m for that location but I could be wrong.
