The google map link on the Craigslist site does not even work. The word steal is spelled 'steal.'
Is 599K a 'Low price' for a 2br 2ba condo, 1,100 sq ft? Sure it is a spanking new condo downtown, but it is 600K. The monthly costs ( 30 yr fixes, solid credit, tax deductions, property taxes, amd condo fees) are over $4,000 a month. Yikes. It is a condo. There is a huge amount of newly constructed condo and condo under construction occuring in the city of Washington, DC. Prices are already falling for condo units. A friend of mine owns a 1br condo in DC and is having a real tough time selling, despite having lowered the price twice.

Will it sell at 599K?

The price is inline with other newly constructed 2br 2ba condos in downtown DC for sale. However, there is a condo glut in DC. The inventory for condos is building. The seller better hope for a quick sale otherwise they won't get the 599K.
