2011 Real Estate Statistics- Bethesda/Chevy Chase & DC
2011 Wrap up
On Wednesday of this week I had an opportunity to share some local real estate statistics on the new Washington Post’s “Where We Live“ blog. While it didn’t exactly launch into a vibrant on-line discussion (come on… it’s statistics), it was fun having it out there.
The table below breaks down real estate activity for 2008-2011 in the Bethesda/Chevy Chase/DC markets. Read below the graph for detailed analysis on what it all means…
I’ve been selling real estate for 12+ years. I’m always getting asked how the market is doing. The simple answer is that it’s a whole lot better than the rest of the country. But those in the market always want more detail, and that’s complicated. It’s easier to talk about real estate when there is a distinct swing in the market. I’ve been tracking real estate trends in Bethesda/Chevy Chase/Northwest DC for many years (specifically zip codes 20814, 20815, 20816, 20817, 20015 and 20016) and in 2011 we’ve got a hodge-podge of plusses and minuses, ending the year on a bit of a dull plateau. Still, given the turmoil in other parts of the US, this is a fine predicament.
- In 2007 2,153 homes sold with an average price of $918,074
- In 2008 1,796 homes sold with an average price of $870,833
- In 2009 1,951 homes sold with an average price of $819,145
- In 2010 1,978 homes sold with an average price of Read the rest of this entry »
East Bethesda MD 20814 Homes for Sale 1/13/12
Update for 1/13/2012… And then there were 3. Good god, we have no houses to sell. No new listings, 2 price drops, and 1 house went under contract. I’ll repeat what I said last week… With only 3 homes advertised on the MLS, East Bethesda inventory is sorely lacking.

4710 Jones Bridge Rd., $475,000
This one is a puzzle. Expanded brick cape on a very busy corner (Jones Bridge and Wisconsin Avenue just across from NIH and the BRAC expansion). Back when it was a rental it used to sport a “Fortunes Told” sign, much to the chagrin of the neighbors. The MLS listing has it with 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath, though there are plenty of additional rooms and plumbing… makes me wonder if some of the work wasn’t officially permitted? The walls have been painted but the floors are a mess. Needs a lot of work. Recent $100K price drop. Days on Market: 32 Read the rest of this entry »
East Bethesda MD 20814 Homes for Sale 1/6/12
Update for 1/6/2012… No new listings, no price drops, and 1 house went under contract (one of the townhouses – making this the first time in over a year that none are for sale). Another house went directly from “on the market” to “sold”… no warning of a contract, so that one is gone, too. With only 4 homes advertised on the MLS, East Bethesda inventory is sorely lacking.

East Bethesda Real Estate Report for 2011
Happy holidays, East Bethesda. It’s time for the annual wrap up. 2011 numbers have held steady from 2010, inching up a modest 0.6%. This isn’t a bad thing. Prices rose by 6.3% in 2010 – the first increase in 3 years. Given the continuing turmoil in the rest of the country, the plateau is a welcome relief.
The 2011 average sales price in East Bethesda was $903,951, with a total of 44 transactions. That’s a 7% increase in volume over 2010 when we had 41 sales averaging $898,224.
Mortgage rates are hovering just under 4% for a 30-year fixed rate (up to $729K). How low can they go? Now is the time to buy or refinance.
Inventory is low. There are currently 5 active listings in the neighborhood ranging from $575,000 – $1,865,000 (3 listings are over $1-million & 2 under). Now is a good time to sell. Three of my four East Bethesda listings this last year received multiple bids and sold for more than the asking price. Price it right, spiff it up, and it should sell quickly.
The graph below is full of statistics about the East Bethesda market place. If you would like to learn more about the individual properties that sold, please contact me and I’ll happily send you some detailed information.
If a move is in your future, I would be very happy to help you learn more about our local market and/or provide you with a complementary home evaluation and price analysis. I’ve lived in East Bethesda for over 15 years. Give me a call!
