UrbanTurf Reader Asks: Which Property Will Have the Better Resale Value?
In this installment of UrbanTurf Reader Asks, a reader who has narrowed her property search down to two condos wonders which has the better investment potential: a large three-bedroom with parking in Petworth or a smaller two-bedroom without parking in Dupont Circle.
I have narrowed my search for a new condo down to two fairly different properties. The first is an 1,800 square-foot three-bedroom condo in Petworth that has been renovated, has a back deck, an off-street parking space and is about four blocks from the Metro. The second is a 1,000 square-foot two-bedroom condo in Dupont Circle with no parking and no outdoor space. Both these properties are in the same price point, but my plan is to sell whichever property I buy in the next 5-7 years. So, based on the descriptions, which property will have the better resale value?
