Hot Weather In A Hot Market

By
Real Estate Agent with Compass

Backyard of 4523 Sleaford RdThings haven't slowed down in the DC real estate market. In fact, it's the first summer in years where heat and vacations seem to make no difference. To be sure, I'm not complaining - but I'm also not getting to go to the pool with my kids!

If you want to chat a little, you can find me at our new listing in East Bethesda today (open 1-4 pm). It's a lovely, traditional brick colonial with a spacious renovated kitchen, 4 bedrooms, 1.75 baths, and a fenced-in level backyard.

One thing is for sure -- we'll crank up the AC for you. And since this home's WalkSocore is a 94 (!), you'll be able to gat to about a zillion different places to pick up FroYo or a cold drink afterwards!

Catarina, The last week or so must have been especially hard to show property in your area, so glad to hear the temps have come down. Hope you get lots of traffic at this open house.

Thanks, Kathy! Rght now - in the morning! - my weather app reports 85 degrees, with a "real feel" of 99! I guess that's SOME improvement, but we're not there yet, where showing houses in the sun would be real fun. :-) Then again, as I said, I'm not complaining...

Hi Catarina...I said I was taking off the month of July (as far as duty in the office) and yet I have been busy, busy, busy. This is still giving me an opportunity though to have a bit more time to enjoy the lake I live on. 

Enjoy the hot market but enjoy the pool too with your kids. That's what you and they will remember.

Kate - you're so right! I'm often afraid that all my kids will remember is that their mother was ALWAYS talking to clients and/or NEVER home!

And our open house yesterday was packed despite the weather! Hoping to present offers tomorrow - wish us luck!

Cati, all I want to do is to head for the beach.  Alas, it doesn't look like it'll happen any time soon!

Pat, I hear you!!! And here, neither...  At least it's really gorgeous now - the 80s I can live with, especially since the low was under 70 last night.
