Wide-Open Loft in Mt. Vernon Square/Logan Circle

This two-bedroom straddling Mt. Vernon Square and the eastern edge of Logan Circle offers 1,450 wide open square feet, providing about as close as a loft feel as once can get in the city. The unit has been on the market about a week in a contemporary building built seven years ago. The condo fees are high on this one ($751), but for a full price offer, the seller will take care of those for a year, as well as 3 percent of closing costs.

A Family Four-Bedroom in Silver Spring

This house in Silver Spring has been on the market for 81 days, but its four-bed, four-bath layout with a big backyard makes a lot of sense for a family looking to get more space for their money. It features lots of charming accents like exposed brick, built-ins, and fireplaces, as well as practical conveniences, like a finished basement.
