ICE CREAM ICE CREAM!! Water Gazing and Georgetown Harbour

Kennedy Center Washington, DC

DC RE GAL enjoying some ice cream

Oh Yes!!! Well if you can't tell yet, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the summer! Hot weather is the best, feel the energy smell the floral fragrance and most of all enjoy the warm sun and cool breeze. Today we are at Washington Harbor and its fantastic weather. People are sitting on the lawn enjoying lunch, taking long strolls in the park and moving hurriedly along to their next business engagement.

No matter what your doing you can't help but SMILE, sometimes for no reason at all. What makes a sunny day the best??? The best part of the day is the ice cream from Hershey's Old Fashion ice cream parlor in Georgetown. It was perfect because there was absolutely NO line! Perhaps that was because I had a cone at officially 11:45am. Don't you love it!! Yours truly, health conscious nut, went out on a limb and splurged for old fashion creamy calories!

Parents as if the Ice Cream is not enough to get you down here with your children, the splash park will do the trick. These little monsters are having a giggling good time. Who needs a pool when you stand 2 feet tall and weigh all of 30 pounds? Stripping down to your "bloomers" becomes not only acceptable but down right adorable. Their laughter is indeed contagious.

 

What's up on the blog today? Take a peek at my short video spill and then read on....

Georgetown has a myriad of condos and one blog definitely won't cover everything but we are going to do our best to take a snapshot of the market. 

Georgetown Washington, DC Condo Statistics

Where are my condo owners in Georgetown?

This is an exciting report for sellers. The one bedroom condo market took a slight dip from October through December but that only makes sense, can anyone say "government shutdown." However when we continue to examine the chart we see a strong steady market from February 2014 until present. All this despite a winter that wouldn't quite which is an afterthought at this point. Do you have a gorgeous 2 or 3 bedroom condo in Georgetown? The median sold price continues to make incremental increases month over month. The three bedroom condos reflect the growing interest in urban dwelling while not losing out on comfortable living space. If you've been sitting on the fence waiting for the perfect storm it just hit. Interest rates are historically low and Wells Fargo offers an amazing jumbo loan program 89.99% Jumbo financing with no MI.

Well that's it for today folks. I sure hope you are enjoying this beautiful weather as much as I am. If so please share and tell me what makes your summer special. Even better post your Favorite Georgetown Ice Cream Shop and be sure to tell us why it's so fantastic!!!

Georgetown, Red Hot Chili Peppers! Lattes (Ice Cold)

Red Hot Chili Peppers

So I'm headed downtown today and it's insanely hot in DC, no I mean seriously its 

Muy Caliente!!!  

As a true Washingtonian we say "welcome to DC the day after Memorial Day." Here comes the dog days of summer but with the heat comes the fun in Washington, so much to do and so little time. The warmth of the sun brings out the best in everyone; smiles, sunshades, cool dresses and fabulous sandals and Georgetown is no exception. The vibe is amazing and the buzz of the city abounds all around you as the day gets under way. People are everywhere men, women, children. People on the street, from the gentleman in the skinny Versace Suite to the den mom #fashionista wearing the incredible pair of Espadrilles and cute Maxi Dress. Who do you identify with? Or perhaps you're somewhere in between. Either way Georgetown is the happening spot! People not only live here, they work here! Whether in Washington Harbor on the waterfront, or a little further up in a boutique shop off Wisconsin Avenue between M and Glover Park. Somewhere in the mix of it all are the hideaway neighborhoods that flank all the excitement. So here comes the latest on the real estate market in Georgetown Washington, DC.

But wait.... I can't get it started without first stopping in to one of my favorite spots in Georgetown, Dean and Deluca's.

Our Blogs are a changing!!!

You know how you take these classes and they tell you "do it this way" "take this position" "this is exactly what works" "just follow this scenario for fantastic results"! So many choices and so little time.

We all know about these classes because if you are interested in any subject, have a job in any industry or you run your own business you have subjected yourself to this training. Now don't get me wrong, I am a #1 proponent of education. It is necessary on so many levels and without it none of us

would realize success. However sometimes you just have to take the  #NesteaPlunge and try something new. What do they say, #Daretobedifferent? Ok so I am breaking all the rules being cliché and using hashtags in my blog post but isn't that what it's all about? Cutting edge, going to new heights, BREAKING ALL THE RULES? Not to mention, its just good fun. I'm tired of living in a box and conforming, I just want to reach my audience and have real authentic conversation and interaction. I am a real person and those that read this blog post (thank you by the way) are too. We deserve to get to know each other better.





Real Beach I was there Playa Del Carmen Mexico circa 2014

So how am I going to start breaking all the rules? No more boring blog post with a trillion graphs about your target market or key neighborhood. That doesn't mean that I am not going to provide informative material, but lets face it we live in a time pressed locale. Who is really reading all of that stuff anyway? I want to give you a tidbit, a sliver of the fat and you give your take on how it benefits your interest. Then for Pete's sake communicate with me. Tell me what you like, what you don't like and what you want more of in this blog. So onward and upward to a new and exciting DCMetro Realtor blog post. Posts that are short sweet and simple, kind of like yours truly! Life really is what you make it and I want mine to be packed with fantastic content mixed up with a whole lot of energy. So put your feet up because we are about to go for a walk on the beach. Stay tuned we just got started.....
