the look is just cosmetic. Small fixes will change that.
The price is reasonable

I think the problem is that number of sf homes inside the beltway listed in 20817, 20815, and 20817 zipcodes around $800k number around a dozen. So, the sellers in other zipcodes and school clusters try....

The houses around this one look similar.

Examples please?

I walked my dog around Woodside Park for almost an hour this morning and didn't see a single random, poorly-done addition. Not one.

We love the schools here and our kids are doing great.

Actually, the elementary school is great and the IB program at Einstein gets great reviews. The biggest problem is middle school, but I'm hopeful that it is improving.

Wow, that house makes me so glad I live in Baltimore. It's in a bad school district, too? In SS? Pathetic.

You could get a house nicer than any of the ones in Woodside park for that here.

$650,00 to $675,000 perhaps.

For one for this price the photos should be spectacular and the house should be staged. the decor is awful and the whole place needs cosmetic fixes not to mention the ugly exterior. Looks like it was previously listed. I wonder if it will even sell.

False.


+1

The houses in our neighborhood (Woodside Park) go for $700K and up, and they sell very quickly.
