ParticipantNice summary on the open house, looks like you captured it very well in you grading. We drove by about 3:30, but had biking clothes on and didn’t stop although I would have like to as I considered the house when it was last for sale, I thought they overpaid at that time.
You named one item – stairs and more stairs to get up to 1st level and you get to carry all the groceries, etc up there. Most realtors will tell you that can be a deal killer. Plus hard to come out of garage and turn around or you have to back onto Madra and that is a tough spot to do it at.
Also having the ugly Betty REO across street and the perpetual unfinished / no siding disaster 2 doors to the west are real attractions that should really help the appeal. Or perhaps these are attractions intended to raise the value / price.

Participant“Koolaid drinking Realtard lists her own house.” What has she been toking? I couldn’t help but comment on this one.
5918 Madra 3102 sq ft bought 7/05 for $ 799 just listed for get this $ 1.3 – $ 1.375 M. Most expensive listing in DC.
Remodeled yes, probably put in about $ 200K maybe 250K, maybe less because apparently hubby is in contracting. So lets say cost basis is $ 1.0 M and they have enjoyed living in it for about 1 1/2 years after the remodel so there is some wear and tear.
Now as we all know houses have declined in value even in DC. So lets say today in original condition it would go for $ 725 – $ 750. Then add in the remodel and reduce for wear. Maybe $ 950 – 1.0 M. Even $ 1.025 – 1.05 pushing it, but $ 1.3m +. Talk about delusional and wanting to make profit.
For those familiar with DC and compared to houses on Norman, Dwayne, Overlook streets. What is she thinking. Her house is on the worst part of Madra, not far from the REO special at 5825 Madra, but luckily on the opposite side. Oh well lets wish her the best.

ParticipantAs oil passes $ 122 a barrel and the sight of future $ 5.00 gas starts coming into view only a fool will not recognize the day of the big SUV is over and none too soon. Peak oil is a reality and the motoring ways of the US will be due for major major changes in teh next few years.
The vast majority of all the big SUV buyers now and in the last several years will be so upside down it will be unbelievable. I lived through 1974 and 1978 and when gas prices / shortages went through the roof you couldn’t give away big sedans and station wagons. Several recent articles speak to how used car dealers are reluctant to even buy SUV’s for resale because they aren’t reselling.
