Gentrification Reality Check: DC Homes you can BUY for under $50,000
Seems ironic considering the
prior post but not really. Just a gentle reminder that while the Ward 8 single family home market is heating up (or become less lukewarm depending on the neighborhood) the east of the river condo market continues to free fall --- and no one is talking about it.
Case in point, behold what you can purchase east of the Anacostia river for $50,000
or less (which coincidently is less than I currently owe in student loans).
FYI -- Early last month during a Ward 8 community meeting Chairman Phil Mendelson (in the presence of two At-Large Councilmembers) promised to have At-Large Councilmember Anita Bonds hold an immediate hearing on the east of the river condo crisis.
I haven't heard a word about it since.
