CURRENT MARKET CONDITIONS FOR LUXURY HOMES
IN BETHESDA, CHEVY CHASE & POTOMAC MD
Whether I am at a cocktail party, the grocery store or on a walk, I get asked the same question over and over again: Betsy, what's happening in the real estate market? So, I thought I would share some data about the Current Market Conditions For Luxury Homes in Bethesda, Chevy Chase & Potomac, MD. After doing some initial research of the luxury home market over $1,000,000, I was stunned to learn of the number of homes flooding the market in Bethesda, Chevy Chase and Potomac, MD. My answer for January 2010 is lots of listings, very few sales.
