These sites use public records and usually some kind of algorithm to try to produce a value for your home. These sites also publicly state their 'error rates'. That means they aren't correct, they are simply an estimate based on incomplete date. We would love to do a free comparitive market analysis of your home or condo and let you know what could expect to get in today's market if you are considering selling. Our valuation is based on up to the day data for homes that have recently sold in the area. Our valuation is not based on a formula that relies on public records which can take months to update.

Good morning Lise. Then it comes to "affordable" condominiums in the Bethesda area, sounds like you know a lot of alternatives besides West Springs. The wise buyer should seek your counsel for sure. Enjoy your day.

Hello Lise - purchasing a condo can definitely be confusing.  It's not only buying a property, but it involves more about the community than a single-family home might.   Thank you for another Bethesda Maryland real estate opportunity.

Good morning, Lise... you certainly surprised me this morning writing about such affordable condos in Bethesda! Don't even see anything near this price in Charlotte anymore! And being FHA approved is so important.
