Breaking from tradition in McLean.

In case you were out of town or busy at work, here is a quick rundown of some of the stories that UrbanTurf ran over the past week.

Here is a look at listings that we considered to be top-notch.
We found the solar panel Groupon for homeowners and the renter’s version of Yelp. Unfortunately, neither has come to the DC area yet.
Our resident housing market guru analyzed housing statistics for the zip code that includes portions of Petworth, 16th Street Heights and Crestwood.
We found a good deal on Capitol Hill for under $300 a square foot.
Mortgage rates inched up slightly after falling for five straight weeks.
DC proper is not the only place in the region getting a Wal-Mart.
The $350,000 price point incited some discussion.
So did the prospect that DC might see discounted home prices this Spring.
Our resident legal expert wrote about when a contract is really a contract.
A number of properties that UrbanTurf has featured went under contract recently.
We found a very non-traditional house being built in McLean.
And DC-specific Census data was released!
