Update: 8300 Hartford

The house located at 8300 Hartford in Silver Spring, MD still has not sold. It has been reduced once again to 550K from 559K. The house was originally listed at 599K.

See previous posts:

8300 Hartford Avenue - December 12
Still Not Selling in Silver Spring - November 30
Falling Leaves, Falling Prices II - November 13
8300 Hartford Avenue, Silver Spring, MD - October 9th

Will it sell at this new reduced price?

The seller seems to be chasing the market down.

  2. What about the one nearby, did that ever sell?

    I think these price reductions still show a strong denial of reality. 9000 is just not a large reduction.

  3. I know people that have sold their homes, cashed out and moved to San Antonio, North Carolina, South Carolina, Richmond.

    The people buying RE in the D.C are right now are at the bottom of the Ponzi scheme.

  4. $560k in Oct would have sold, maybe even with a bidding war. Since then the owner has paid over $10k in PITI. He's lost $20k and 4 months through greed. Now it is too late. He'll need to carve out another $20k either through reductions or more time on market or a combination.

  9. In the past year every stripper I've talked to (and i've talked to a lot) has complete faith that housing always goes up. Word in the NYC stripper community is that Harlem is the next boomlet in Manhattan island's saga of rising prices. Now many of these dancers are very nice and hard working, but i wouldn't exactly call them smart money when it comes to making investments.

  10. Au contrair, the strippers are the "smart money" taking money from fools who want their services.

  11. According to the Maryland Tax Assessment site. Link:

    http://sdatcert3.resiusa.org/rp_rewrite/results.asp?streetNumber=8300+&streetName=Hartford&county=16&intMenu=2&SearchType=Street&submit4=SEARCH

    This house sold for:

    $403,000 On 01/29/2004
    $275,000 On 06/14/2001
    $177,777 On 12/16/1992

    Based on these real numbers do you think it should go for $200,000 (33%) more just 2 years later?
