The Woodacres area of Bethesda is a community that has it all! Wonderful older homes – many of which have been renovated extensively – with tree lined streets and a tight knit community. There are multi-generations living here (I should know we live in the house my husband grew up in there!) since the families want their kids to experience the same sense of tradition and community they grew up with. The ~450 homes were built in the 50′s and are a mix of ramblers, splits and colonials, with a preponderance of splits it seems! With recent development happening at a fairly rapid clip, there are now a number of homes well over $2M in the neighborhood. With access to the downtown areas of Bethesda and DC so close, this neighborhood continues to attract professionals who work in those locations and require top notch schools as well as proximity to work locations. Wood Acres Elementary is tucked into the neighborhood in such a way to become an integral part of the community. With about 700 students it’s a large school that draws from this neighborhood as well as several others in the 20816 zip code. If you are interested in what school your child would attend in the 20816 zip code you can always check the Montgomery County Public Schools website, enter in the address of the home and all information about the school cluster will be available to you. An active civic association is in place to monitor and respond to the issues within the community. Recently, many trees were marked for removal and the association has been active in getting the word out to the community that the replacements need TLC and just what to expect those replacements to be, according to the county guidelines. |

Preview 6208 Newburn Drive MC7270785 – Bethesda Real Estate in Woodacres
I personally preview every home for sale in Woodacres and the surrounding neighborhoods 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 Woodacres homes for sale 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.

MC7270785
I have been previewing a lot of Bethesda homes for sale this week and this home for sale in Woodacres is a great new listing. This house had gone under contract quickly when it first came on but the buyer backed out due to a sligthly elevated radon reading. The sellers agreed to remediate and it should have been a no brainer! There is radon in our entire area and to think that you could find a home anywhere that didn’t have radon currently or have the potential to have radon is really unrealistic.
Someone else will get the opportunity to own this really good Woodacres home for sale with a two story addition that encompasses a family room kitchen on the main level and a superb master suite on the upper level. Everything is sited well also – kitchen at the back overlooking a nice yard and the bedroom at the back of the house as well, with enough windows to make it a light filled space that is one of the better master suites I’ve seen.
Woodacres is one of the best communities around and remains a highly sought after area for Bethesda real estate. Built by Albert Walker its architectural style is protected by covenants and must remain a Colonial only community. In the neighboring subdivisions you’ll find plenty of splits and contemporaries but here in Woodacres it is only and will remain for ever Colonials!
Community activities such as a 4th of July parade and picnic up at the park bring out hundreds and hundreds of our residents to share in this old fashioned celebration. And Halloween starts at the Triangle (you’ll get it later) with The Great Pumpkin handing out candy to all the kids, who then trick or treat up and down streets filled with costumed tykes, bags filled to the brims with goodies. You’ll see everyone you know!
Woodacres Park is the site of many activities for the community and is a daily gathering ground for the toddler set as well as for any older kids looking for a tennis game, a place to play ball or gathering to practice soccer or baseball on the local fields. After school the park is filled with the sounds of happy kids releasing their pent up delight!
Location is really superb. There is quick access to two shopping centers with Giant and Safeway, Starbucks galore, The Trail, a bus stop steps away and a school system that is highly regarded. The home values in Woodacres tend to stand up over time with all of these features!
If you are interested in what kind of offer to make for this Woodacres home for sale (MC7270785), 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.

Bethesda Real Estate and Bethesda Homes for Sale
December 2009 – 20816 Monthly Stats
SOLD Listings in Bethesda – 20816
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.

2009 Yearly Statistics for Bethesda 20816 Neighborhoods

Bethesda Real Estate and Bethesda Homes for Sale
November 2009 Real Estate Stats for Bethesda, 20816
.jpg)
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.
