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!
