D.C. Region has Priciest Housing Market in Nation

A new report shows a dramatic gap between housing prices and wages.

Washington metro area residents face one of the nation’s largest gaps between wages and housing prices, according to two recent surveys – and experts are worried it could make the region less attractive to the workforce. According to the Washington Business Journal, a recent report from ZipRealty, Inc. shows that the D.C. region’s median housing price is about $1.03 million as of Feb. 10, 2013. That’s almost 17 times the region’s median income. Washington landed ahead of New York City’s popular Brooklyn borough and the bay area in San Francisco. ZipRealty came up with their ratio by studying median income and median sales price, the Journal reports. The report considered houses with three to four bedrooms – approximately 2,000 square feet…

House Hunt: Three Open Houses for New Listings

Check out this week's crop of new listings

Real estate: The source of endless fascination at cocktail parties. A reason for otherwise normal neighbors to turn into peeping voyeurs as they check out the closets of their neighbor during an Open House. The cause for great angst, if a house is out of reach for a would-be buyer, or if it’s priced far below what a new owner just paid for a nearly identical house. To help keep you apprised of the local real estate market scene, Patch’s weekly House Hunt will highlight five houses that have come on the market in the past week, along with information about Open House schedules, if applicable. OK, on to this week's new listings: Realtors, are you wondering why YOUR new listing isn’t highlighted? As much as we love to think of Patch as being …
