"My house is worth what?" is a show on HGTV when a real estate expert will come to the house of a homeowner and critique their house. They will give tell them some of the things that they did will improve the value of their house and some of the things that might or wont bring you a lot of money on your return on investment.

Here it is!  Three levels of living.  Old world charm and gingerbread.  And it was mine for just one single dollar! Every year, my friend and neighbor, Jean, organizes a block long front porch sale.   The homes on my block are basically Wardman style towhhouses with big front porches. The idea is that we all spend the week ahead of time gathering up all of our junk from closets, attics and basements, then we lug it to the front porch, price it and wait for the hordes to come and buy it. I didn't quite get my act together for the sale.  And instead of getting rid of stuff, I actually bought my new house!  It's a big cookie jar that my neighbor Ruby was selling. I did, however bring a couple of side dishes to the after sale barbecue that we set up on the side yard of the old Latvian embas...

I admit. I like a lot of the real estate shows on HGTV. Some of my favorites are Designed to Sell,House Hunters,National Open House and Property Virgins. But one of my favorite shows on HGTV is the show "My house is worth what?". And it so happens that Washington DC NE was one of the three houses featured on the show today. Now to some of you who don't watch the show. "My house is worth what?" is a show on HGTV when a real estate expert will come to the house of a homeowner and critique their house.

One of my first staging jobs (three years ago!) was a condo in Springfield, VA.  The great thing was that the client had most of her own furniture - we just had to declutter a bit and add some life.  Believe it or not, all of the art was hers as well - she had some great pieces.  A family member was an artist and she had all of this great original art. Score!  I added the window treatments and spruced things up a bit. It turned out nice - what do you think?                 I was so proud - my designer friend and I made this headboard on the spot! We needed something to match the bedding and were on a serious budget!   She had some great traditional furniture - the fox was the icing on the cake!          I hope you enjoyed the photos!           Contact me for a staging consultation in th...

Next weekend, Mt. Zion United Methodist Church invites you to their annual Octoberfest celebration in Georgetown's Rose Park.  This historic church is on the corner of P and 26th Streets, and they'll take over the park on Saturday, October 4th between 10:00 AM and 5:30 PM. This is a fun afternoon both for the festival and for the chance to see this church.  It was founded in 1816 and is the oldest African American church in the District of Columbia.  I'm planning to drop in between showings!

That is a question I would love to ask a Real Esate professional once I am able to sit and talk with one. Ever since the bursting of the housing bubble and the exposure of the sub prime lenders and everything that has dramatically changed the current RE market around the country, that's been on my mind. The smoke has cleared a bit and the dust has settled, and there are still those who chose not to turn in or allow their licenses to expire. So given the current state of things, and how many must look at us (especially those new to the business), my question to you is: DO YOU LOVE REAL ESTATE? Are you passionate about this and what you do and represent to people, or have you decided to hang in there for the sake of the next chunk of money? What keeps you going and do your clients see it ...

The SW section of Washington DC has long been considered by many an area of undervalued Real Estate. What has been missing?  A GOOD grocery store, a Starbucks, maybe a Potbelly or a bookstore.  That, along with more newer and modern Residential and Office space will help grow this area immensely.  Now the new Waterfront Project; is moving full steam ahead to bring some of these much needed services and spaces to the very conveniently located SW section of Washington DC.  Financing has been secured for the 1st of two buildings at the Waterfront Project.  See Article.   With major redevelopment 4 blocks away where the new Washington Nationals Baseball Stadium now resides; this entire section of the city is sure to bring many more suburbanites into the city to live, eat and play.       Cal...

There's a petition going around the H St NE neighborhood. I'm not sure what they would like to be done w/ the property, but the locals aren't thinking a service station is the way to go. There is a petition to sign, before Monday the 20th. Check them out.

It is September 2008. Time for another Anacostia Washington DC Real Estate Market Report Statistics (Zipcode 20020). Sales are up from last month. However sales are down this same time last year. But average home price of a house that sold in Anacostia Washington DC was $229,091 up from $227,285 up 0.79% from this same time last year. Does this mean that the market has bottomed out in Anacostia Washington DC Real Estate? I think it is too quick to make that prediction. According to this Anacostia Washington DC Real Estate Market Report Statistics (Zip code 20020),FHA is product that more home buyers used to buy their house in Anacostia Washington DC. Out of the 11 houses that sold in Anacostia Washington DC Real Estate,6 of them were FHA loans. Here is the Anacostia Washington DC Real E...
