The market has felt more active over the last few weeks as the weather has improved. We're seeing an increase in showing requests, and lenders are telling me they're receiving more mortgage applications. The DMV spring market starts early, and by February 1, many buyers who need to move will start the process—regardless of interest rates.
We also have an Eckington success story to share! We took over a listing at 16 Quincy Place NE that had been on the market for several months with no offers under a previous agent. When Alex and I first visited the property, it was clear why it wasn't moving. It was a fantastic home, but it needed a final round of marketing-ready preparations.
Here’s what we did:
Conducted a Buyer’s Eye Walk, noting anything that might distract potential buyers
Helped the seller prioritize updates and coordinated contractors
Staged the home and brought in architectural-level photography & videography
Provided detailed pricing analysis, helping us pinpoint the right list price
And the result? Success! The home settled on Friday, bringing new neighbors to Eckington and delivering a happy outcome for the sellers. This hands-on, front heavy, strategic approach is what we believe sells homes.

Eckington By The Numbers || Weekend 11.17.2024
Happy Sunday, everyone!
It’s been a pretty quiet weekend. Currently, in Eckington, there are 38 active listings, with 5 homes closed in the past 30 days. As we approach the holiday season, even though there are fewer buyers in the market, the ones who are looking are serious.
If you’re planning to sell during this time, take the extra effort to ensure your home is market-ready. Buyers who make time during their busy holiday schedules to view properties are often ready to make a purchase.
The Fed has now lowered the rates by another quarter point, which should continue to move the market rates eventually.
As of Friday, November 15 the current average interest rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage is 7.05%.

Happy Sunday, everyone!
Alex and I have noticed a slight uptick in both attendance and real estate activity. My sense is that people are seeing rates starting to dip, and, as we discussed last week, they may be looking to get under contract before we shift back to a seller’s market. This approach—moving quickly for better pricing and terms—feels like the right one in a market that's starting to turn.
On the seller side, we’re seeing a common pitfall: overpricing. When buyers have options, they can afford to be selective about what they purchase. To stand out, it's crucial to present your home in the best possible way—clean, flawless, and competitively priced. This approach worked well for our condo listing at 220 T NE #3. The seller understood the importance of showing the home in top condition and setting an aggressive price, which helped us get it under contract while other condos in the area are still sitting on the market.
Hope everyone has a great week ahead!
