DC Real Estate and Area Events: District of Columbia: Washington: Mount Pleasant

Once again,Washington DC was featured on the HGTV hit show "My house is worth what?". This time The house was in Mt.Pleasant Washington DC. This is the second time in like two weeks Washington DC Real Estate was featured on the HGTV show.

Now to some of you who don't watch the show. "My house is worth what?" is a show on HGTV when a real estate expert will come to the house of a homeowner and critique their house. They will give tell them some of the things that they did will improve the value of their house and some of the things that might or wont bring you a lot of money on your return on investment. The home owners always want the advice of a real estate expert because they either are looking to sell and move up to a bigger house,they want to expand onto their existing house,want to know if the improvements that they made to their house was a good choice or just curious of what the real estate market is in their neighborhood.

For today's show was in Mt. Pleasant Washington DC. A young couple who brought their historic Mt.Pleasant townhouse in 2006 for $560,000 right at the peak of the Real Estate Market. They invested $90,000 into renovations of their home and their goal was for their house to be worth at least $675,000 so that can have enough to buy a single family home.

The real estate expert told them that they made some nice renovations to the house. They spent $15,000 on the kitchen and it has a sleek design. But the kitchen is small. It is also small on square footage. They spent $15,000 on the den and $7,000 on the patio. But the patio lacks privacy and the real estate expert told them that they need to get a large shrub. And the house has a different architecture from the other houses in the neighborhood. 

So after the real estate expert crunched up the numbers,he told them that if was to list their house today,he will list it for $585,000. So the value of their house appreciated by $25,000. Their goal was $675,000 considering they put $90,000 into renovating their historic townhouse. But when the real estate market gets better (hopefully very,very soon),the young couple will more than likely be able to sell their house at a price that they will be comfortable with.
