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.
Apartment vacancy dropped across the country but rose in DC.
Our resident housing market guru analyzed housing statistics for the zip code that encompasses Takoma Park.
We gave you a look at what one (of many) of 14th Street’s new residential projects will look like.
Prices dropped on a couple of sub-$350,000 homes that we have featured.
News came that sales will start in May on a 22-unit condo project on Georgia Avenue, and that it will deliver this summer.
We profiled what we considered a bargain in 16th Street Heights and a very cool former architect’s home in Woodley Park.

A reader identified a tax issue that some self-employed home buyers may face.
