Yep. It's the same troll from the Arlington thread in this forum.

Nah, the average AU Park house looks like this and costs 800K or less:

This would be a teardown shitshack in McLean.

The "average" house in AU Park is not 2 bedroom 1 bath. They are small, yes, but not that small.

That should be a teardown anywhere. The lot probably can't support a new build though (looks jacked as fuck). Mclean has its fair share of shitshacks as well though.

1) you don't know whatthe contract price is so it could have sold for less. You won't know till the closing happens
2) all the bathrooms and the kitchen are renovated which is a big deal. People like move inready houses
3) it has a nice sized backyard for the city
4) it has 3.5 bathrooms another a huge plus.
5) the asking price was a little high but not of the realm for the neighborhood and the quality of the house inside and out.
6) i do think it was staged (and i liked what they did
7) it has a nice finished basement

It is in the same family as this - and it got $1.3!!!

They really aren't high end. It looks good if you don't look carefully.

Yep, if you're going to charge 1.25, I need to see some Viking or Wolf appliances.

And a pot filler

+1. And no counter space by the stove, at all.

They could've purchased a DCS or BlueStar range, at the very least.

I'm sure it went for over ask since it went under contract so quickly.
