You got to be kidding me…

812 C St, SE

Neighborhood: Eastern Market

Original Listing Price: $1.15 million (June 5, 2008)

Current Listing Price: $999,000

This three bedroom could possibly sway the right buyer. It’s half a block from Eastern Market, and comes with a “HUGE” garage, according to the listing. Still, at this price, it’s a couple hundred thousand above the area’s median home value. Not every nice townhouse in every nice neighborhood is going to fetch a million bucks.

That’s more like it…

1113 7th St, NE

Neighborhood: H Street/Gallaudet area

Original Listing Price: $529,000 (June 3, 2008)

Current Listing Price:$305,000

On the down side, this rowhouse “needs work” and is “sold as-is.” On the up side, it currently has tenants, according to the listing. So, at least, it’s quasi livable.
