Five Traits of Today's Homebuyers
Thursday, October 28th, 2010 at 3:37pm. 623 Views, 0 Comments.
The article quoted below about the five traits of today's homesbuyers is very interesting and yet not neccesarily aligned with the homebuyer traits here in the District.
A survey by American Lives, a consumer research firm in California, conducted a study for the trade magazine Builder to answer that question. Here are their conclusions:
- They are young. Most are under 45. Half said they had annual household incomes of $75,000 or less. Two-thirds are married. >>>Most of our DC buyers fit the age profile highlighted in the article with the overwhelming majority in the under 45 age grouping. The incomes are higher in the District and the percentage that are married is significantly lower.
- They are frugal. They consistently told surveyors they were…
The Meandering Borders of Dupont Circle
Tuesday, October 26th, 2010 at 11:03am. 1108 Views, 1 Comments.
The stretching of the Dupont Circle neighborhood borders by the DC real estate community seems to happen on a near-daily basis. Realtors listing properties will go to great lengths to include the highly-coveted Dupont badge of honor in their listing. As an altruistic stickler for details looking for order in our world....this common practice of advertising a property for sale in Dupont even though it is not....just feels wrong.
Wikipedia defines the Dupont Circle neighborhood as being bounded approximately by 15th Street NW to the east, 22nd Street NW to the west, M Street NW to the south, and Florida Avenue NW to the north. This Dupont Neighborhood definition is very straight forward and truly shouldn't be a major point of debate.
Unfortunately in the…

Stretching DC Neighborhood Borders
Thursday, February 11th, 2010 at 1:30pm. 803 Views, 0 Comments.
It only takes a couple of minutes of searching in the Washington DC MLS database to find a multitude of meandering neighborhood borders. When did the West End become Georgetown?......when did Capitol Hill extend to Nationals Park......did the national army of Kalorama invade Adams Morgan and claim Columbia Road as their own?
Was there a city-wide Realtor training session that I missed on how to juice up the price of a listing by stretching the borders of a neighborhood? I surely don't understand the logic behind advertising a property in a neighboring community. Aren't DC buyers just smarter than that? Armed with tools like Google Maps and GPS units can't most buyers see through this strategy? Also, with so much searching starting on the web,…

Walking is the essence of the DC urban lifestyle. It doesn't matter if you are a K Street attorney with a pair of cordovan Allen-Edmonds oxfords or a lobbyist adorned in a pair of Jimmy Choo pumps and a secret pair of New Balance running shoes stashed away for the daily commute.........walking around the District is part of your daily routine.
