The Bubble Meter Philosophy
The best way to get the housing market thriving again is to drop prices to the point where supply equals demand. Home sellers might not like it, but it's good for buyers and it's great for Realtors.
For Realtors, the best way to make more money is to sell houses quickly, and the best way to sell houses quickly is to convince the seller to drop the price.

This looks like a million house to me!. Not, this house looks like one in a third world country. If you show this to someone from overseas and you tell them this is washington, DC, they will say you are a liar. Where is this ugly house located?
ReplyDeleteAnd?
ReplyDeleteNo longer a row house it would appear. More like a orphaned row house.
ReplyDeletewhere's the row?
ReplyDeletePlease stay out of DC. Leave it to the residents (and homeowners) here.
ReplyDeletePretty detailing. Where is it?
ReplyDeleteSeriously, so long as the neighborhood's not too sketchy, I find that place quite attractive. You know the workmanship's a heck of a lot better than your stapled-together-OSB-McMansion out in Loudon.
ReplyDeleteThis place isn't attractive to me in any way. Different strokes for different folks.
ReplyDeleteNeeds new windows and some landscaping, but it could be nice.
ReplyDeletei'd love to have that place! tidy it up a bit, get rid of the window unit a/c, and you'll have a real winner. i love the brick sidewalks in parts of dc. is this in capitol hill?
ReplyDeleteWhy is it all by itself? Looks like it got all nice and thin so it could squeeze in between other row houses, but looks like no other house wants to be in this row
ReplyDeleteOh, I get it, the rest of the rowhouses moved out due to the high taxes in Washingotn DC.
ReplyDeleteThis one stayed out of loyalty to the District (or the fact no one was willing to buy the land the house stands on. Talk about a tough selling market)

ReplyDeleteI don't understand what these posts mean, when there's just a picture of a house.
David used to post commentary when he posted pictures of houses, but the trolls (cough Lance cough) accused him of being biased and only picking the worst of DC's houses.
This is a stupid post - seriously there is very little content on this blog.
ReplyDeleteI think it is a great post - a giant house-shaped rorschach test for everyone to project their genius or stupidity onto.
ReplyDeleteLooks dreamy!!! I wish I had the $650K to buy it!
ReplyDeleteThis house is on the eastern edge of Shaw in the vicinity of I'd guess New Jersey Avenue and R Streets. It was designed by N.T. Haller, one of Washington's most prolific Victorian architects who designed over 1,600 buildings between 1885 and 1915. In fact, this is one of the oldest Haller buildings still standing.
ReplyDeleteIt was originally built as part of a row of two, but the house originally to the right has been demolished.
In the pair of windows in the projecting bay, the one to the right still has the original multi-pane upper sash. Haller used that type of window frequently in his designs of this period, and this house would have had that window in the rest of the facade.

Yes, I work for DC government. Yes, it's a very odd coincidence I know this off of the top of my head (I referenced this property in a staff report pertaining to a different Haller rowhouse on N Street).
