dc condos: Something You Didn't Know About Monopoly - 02/16/10 08:53 PM
(You'll never look at the game the same way again!)Starting in 1941, an increasing number of British Airmen found themselves as the involuntary guests of the Third Reich, and the Crown was casting about for ways and means to facilitate their escape...Now obviously, one of the most helpful aids to that end is a useful and accurate map, one showingnot only where stuff was, but also showing the locations of 'safe houses' where a POW on-the-lam could go for food and shelter. Paper maps had some real drawbacks -- they make a lot of noise when you open and fold them, they wear out rapidly, and if they get … (6 comments)

dc condos: Try Showing Properties in the Aftermath of Snow-zilla! - 02/13/10 10:35 PM
Finally, the snow has stopped falling for a few days - as you know, and that means we in DC can go back to work - finally!
When I went back to the office on Friday, I was so excited to see everyone that I hugged our manager, our office administrator, and our receptionist. Between the joy of getting out of the house and seeing friends and colleagues, Friday was a great day.
Today was the first day out on the street in more than a week. I have several new buyers who are eager to start looking so that they … (5 comments)

dc condos: DC METRO CONDO MARKET ACCORDING TO MCWILLIAMS/BALLARD - 02/12/10 02:35 PM
The District
DC is the strongest condo market in the region. Half of overall condo sales in 2009 occurred in the District, and is expected to continue to be the most active market in the near term. Big new condo projects aren't planned to deliver until at least mid-2012, though, so in the interim small projects will fill in the gaps. There is also a strong possibility that some of the big rental projects currently under construction will actually deliver as condos.
Current new condo inventory in DC stands at 1,368 units.
Arlington
After DC, Arlington is the second healthiest market in the … (1 comments)

dc condos: Tell Your Buyers to Ask for a Free Parking Space with that New Condo - 12/17/09 08:38 PM
I just read an interesting post at DC UrbanTurf suggesting that when a buyer makes an offer on a new construction condo, that the buyer should also ask the developer for a parking space for free.
Even though many DC condo parking spaces selling for $40,000 or even $50,000 in the District,there are new condo projects in the area which are "over-parked"- the developer built more spots than were ultimately demanded by buyers, so the building has more parking than it needs.
"Parking is the lowest-hanging fruit in the negotiating process," one developer told UrbanTurf. "Once the building sells out, leftover spaces valued … (1 comments)

Best Overall Restaurants - Washington, D.C. Area
There are many wonderful reasons to rejoice in living in the DC metro area, and our restaurant selection definately counts as one of them. I like to joke that every time there is a revolution in some far away country which necessitates a change in its embassy staff, the chef for the previous ambassador and staff stays in DC and opens a restaurant. We are truly a Heinz 57 variety of restaurants in the DC metro area - offering cusine from Albania to Zaire and many points in between. If you are interested in … (2 comments)

dc condos: NAR Responds to Congressional Efforts to Modify FHA Lending - 12/07/09 01:05 PM
NAR President Vicki Cox Golder testified before the House Committee on Financial Services recently that the Federal Housing Administration mortgage insurance program is a critical part of the American housing fabric and has never been more important than it is in today's market. NAR strongly opposes H.R. 3706, the "FHA Taxpayer Protection Act of 2009," which would increase FHA's downpayment requirement.
Golder said that the FHA program is fiscally sound with responsible underwriting, and needs enhancements but not radical reform. She encouraged Congress and the Obama administration to tread lightly before making changes to a program that has a profound impact on economic recovery and … (0 comments)

dc condos: Logan Circle Update - 11/03/09 09:51 PM
Logan Circle is now one of the best areas in Washington, but it wasn't always the case. Logan Circle is a recently restored community, filled with urbanites, restaurants, and the best Whole Foods in the city with a colorful past. Now it is a gracious neighborhood with upscale condos, beautiful Victorian townhomes and newly constructed apartment buildings.
Did you know that Logan Circle itself wasn't always known as Logan Circle? Until 1930 Logan Circle was named Iowa Circle. Finally, in 1930 Congress passed a Law changing the name of Iowa Circle to Logan Circle in memory of Civil War General and Senator John A. Logan (D-IL). … (1 comments)
