January 6 update: No new listings, no price drops, and 1 house went under contract (one of the townhouses - making this the first time in over a year that none are for sale within East Bethesda). Another house went directly from "on the market" to "sold"... no warning of a contract, so that one is gone, too. With only 4 homes advertised on the MLS, East Bethesda inventory is sorely lacking.
All the homes in this article are currently for sale within East Bethesda. The top of the list features the newest listings, while the bottom showcases those that have been on the market for quite some time. I'll be updating this post every Friday, so be sure to check back to see what's new, what's gone, & what might be coming (and check out the date up top... if it's not current, neither is this information!). I've lived in East Bethesda for over 16 years. I've sold real estate in East Bethesda for over 12 years. It's a wonderful neighborhood within walking distance of two metro stops AND downtown Bethesda. While all of this information is available to you on the various search engines, I've taken the time to inject my opinion on the condition, pricing, and likelihood of each property selling... or not. I hope you'll give me a call if you have any questions. I have loved living here over the years, and I want to share it with other enthusiastic people!

4710 Jones Bridge Rd., $575,000
This one is a puzzle. Expanded brick cape on a very busy corner (Jones Bridge and Wisconsin Avenue just across from NIH and the BRAC expansion). Back when it was a rental it used to sport a "Fortunes Told" sign, much to the chagrin of the neighbors. The MLS listing has it with 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath, though there are plenty of additional rooms and plumbing... makes me wonder if some of the work wasn't officially permitted? The walls have been painted but the floors are a mess. Needs a lot of work for the price. Days on Market: 25
8613 Brandt Place, $1,099,000
Nice arts and crafts home with 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths. Rental unit in basement- tenants willing to extend lease. Big kitchen/family room with cathedral ceilings. Large deck off of family room. 2-car garage. Easy walk to NIH and metro. Days on Market: 36
4624 Windsor Lane, $695,000
Back on the market. 2 BR/2FB cape/bungalow. Walk to NIH metro. Built in 1938. Updated kitchen. The price is ambitious for only 2BR. Lot measures 6,371 s.f. 1-car garage. For sale by owner. Days on Market: 91
4301 Rosedale Avenue, $1,865,000
New property to be built by Miller Development on a 10,605 s.f lot. Touts upscale finishes, designer kitchen, energy efficient systems, hand cut stonework, and wide plank floors. 5BR/4.5BA. Recent and rather unusual $70K price increase (they've recently started construction, and I'm guessing there are some add-ons). Days on Market: 198
7903 Kentucky Avenue, $1,300,000 range
6 bedrooms/5.5 baths. 4 levels. Due to deliver sometime in the summer of 2012. Built by Douglas Construction. The lot is on the small side at 5,250 s.f., but you're a short 2-block walk to the park, a 1-block walk to BCC high school, and 12 minutes to metro. Not yet on the MLS. Days on Market: unavailable
4527 & 4508 Maple Avenue, $1,525,000
6 bedrooms/5.5 baths. 4 levels. Both in various phases of construction. Both built by Douglas Construction. They put out a good, solid house. Not yet on the MLS. Days on Market: unavailable
4319 Rosedale Avenue, $1,575,000
6 bedrooms/5.5 baths. 4 levels. Still time for customization Also by Douglas Construction. Sits on a larger lot... 9,000+ s.f. Not yet on the MLS. Days on Market: unavailable
