Price continues to trend upwards in the active listings – or homes for sale in Bethesda – but it has not translated yet to sold prices achieving gains in average or median price. The inventory is still on a downward trend from the past but the days on market are not matching the same trend. The buyer demand is not heavy enough yet to tip the balance into more of a seller’s market.

Bethesda Real Estate and Bethesda Homes for Sale
December of 2009 was a busy month. The units sold volume was up by 50% as you can see and sales volume was way up as well. A lot of homes went under contract at the end of the year. Median price was flat from 2008 but average sold price was up – seven of the homes sold that month were over $1.1M which improved the average price. In the same time frame last year there were only 3 homes sold over $1M.
The median sold price is still the better statistic to watch for a general trend.

I personally preview every listing in this area so that when buyers are looking for homes with certain features I know right away what might work well for them. Because I see so many of the listings in the area I can also help sellers understand why one home might have commanded more than another. While we can look at many, many pictures of homes on line there is nothing like being physically present in a house to understand how it will work as someone’s home.
If you would like me to put my neighborhood expertise and experience to work for you, contact me!
$1,895,000Still previewing homes this week…. This one was fun to go in and see! It’s truly
lovely and has so much space. The main level is well used space with a formal room in the front and a dining room the whole neighborhood could eat in
Beautifully framed by columns and trim and painted in these soft neutrals anyone could live with.
A main hallway keeps the flow going and somewhat separated so you don’t just have one big common area – a blend of great room space all together in the back of the home and more formal separated space in the front. The kitchen area in the back flows right into the family area and the back deck, which is good for entertaining. Not much yard left by the time this much house is built on the lot but there is still green space that could house play equipment or patio space.
The upper level has bedrooms and baths in abundance – all with good space and light flowing in. A neat feature is a common area that could be a library or upstairs den. It’s in the space above the porte-cochere so it might have been too narrow for a bedroom but makes the perfect place for any common usage!
The lower level just goes on and on! Lots of room and walkout to the back yard. There’s a lot of natural light plus good overhead lighting that makes the space feel really good. Truly you won’t lack for space in this house.
Location can’t be beat. Shopping centers close by, the trail access is literally right down the road, the schools are highly regarded and getting into DC by public transit or car is a breeze.
If you are interested in what kind of offer to make for this home, contact me and we can discuss the comps and what price is supported by the recent sales and the current condition of the home.
I focus my work extensively in this area of Bethesda so I’ve developed a lot of expertise in the home values in Bethesda, neighborhoods, school systems and local amenities.

Information source MRIS, deemed reliable but not guaranteed…
November taken just from this chart looks abysmal. But rolled up for the year, the median price is only down about 5%. Not so bad if you thought it was 39% down. That’s one of the reasons this month over month look can be deceptive and really too narrow to look at as definitive. I prefer to keep a rolling average of the year to date so I can look back over the years and see if this season is in fact much different than previous year’s seasons as a whole. I also prefer median price over average because it doesn’t take much in a zip code that is being remodeled or rebuilt fairly heavily to skew the data upwards. Same holds true for some of the smaller homes that might be gobbled up to create a new home and that will skew the average downwards…
The active inventory in November was much lower than before and that becomes the trend to watch. If it continues and buyer demand starts heading upwards we might see price stabilize in an upward trend.
