East Bethesda MD 20814 Homes for Sale 7/8/11
Update for 7/8/2011: This week we have 0 new listings, 5 price drops, and nothing under contract. The price drops are kind of exciting, but the market feels like it has slowed for the summer.
All the homes in this article are currently for sale within East Bethesda. The top of the list features the newest listings, while the bottom showcases those that have been on the market for quite some time. I’ll be updating this post every Friday, so be sure to check back to see what’s new, what’s gone, & what might be coming (and check out the date up top… if it’s not current, neither is this information!). I’ve lived in East Bethesda for over 15 years. I’ve sold real estate in East Bethesda for over 11 years. It’s a wonderful neighborhood within walking distance of two metro stops AND downtown Bethesda. While all of this information is available to you on the various search engines, I’ve taken the time to inject my opinion on the condition, pricing, and likelihood of each property selling… or not. I hope you’ll give me a call if you have any questions. I have loved living here over the years, and I want to share it with other enthusiastic people!

Foreclosure & Short Sale Activity Bethesda/Chevy Chase
I like to study trends in real estate. And, in just about every other corner of the US, foreclosures and short sales still loom large. Not so much in Bethesda/Chevy Chase. In 2010 there were 72 foreclosure and short sales within Bethesda/Chevy Chase (specifically, zip codes 20814, 20815, 20816, 20817 & 20818). Out of a total of 1,392 sales this represents 5.2% of all local sales. In 2011, thus far, we’ve had 471 homes sell through May 31. Of these 26 have been bank sales, or 5.6%. Compared to other pockets of the nation, we’re doing alright.
While there are some good deals to be had on these properties, they are not giving away the bank. Sure, there was one listing that started off at $1,600,000 and sold for $600,000 in the end… but only when they lowered the price to $699,000 (this one became a short sale in the middle of construction, and was offered originally as a new property when the seller ran into trouble… it kind of skews the numbers when you dig down to the real story). And, some sales escalated well over the asking price (one listing in Chevy Chase listed for $1,075,000 and sold for $1,300,000). Same as Read the rest of this entry »
