- I live in a little townhouse community in DC. We bought in 2018, a home just sold for $300k more than we paid. - MDH Apr 16, 07:18 9
  - What part of DC? -- nm - Inigo Apr 16, 07:23 1
    - I live over by U Street. Easiest way to describe it would be Cardozo (which is apparently the accurate/historic neighborhood name) -- nm - MDH Apr 16, 07:25
  - our 2 bedroom condo has more than doubled in 7 years. we couldn't afford to buy it now. and it's not fancy. -- nm - Andie Apr 16, 07:21 2
    - when I bought my house (for $226), zillow estimated it was worth $170 (it appraised then at $230). now zillow says it's worth $235, so... - amanda jeans Apr 16, 07:23 1

    - here, a rental permit adds $80-$100k to purchase price. so a $250k house with a rental permit might sell for $340. -- (link) - amanda jeans Apr 16, 07:29
