In this week's Above Asking, we highlight two homes in Silver Spring and Takoma Park that recently sold for north of their asking price.
$62,000 Above Asking For A Silver Spring Three-Bedroom
We noted that buyers needed to move quickly to snag this three-bedroom listing in Silver Spring's Fairway neighborhood, and that was accurate as it was under contract after 48 hours on the market. It also went for well above asking, selling at a $62,000 premium. The home has a relaxing front porch that leads into a large living room with a wood-burning fireplace, followed by a renovated eat-in kitchen, and a sunroom looking out on a stone patio and backyard. The three bedrooms are found upstairs and the lower level includes a recreation room, office, and a utility room.
