North Potomac Market Update
June 28th, 2009 Categories: North Potomac
In an article from May, I was seeing a ton of demand for homes in North Potomac priced around $600,000. The chart below confirms this trend with less than two months’ inventory for homes priced from $600,000 to $800,000. Two factors are driving sales here: 1. motivated move-up buyers and 2. low available inventory. Two of our listings in North Potomac in this price range have attracted heavy showings and multiple offers. Buyers with low offers are losing out with such strong competition. They’ll insist that the market is so bad that any seller should jump on an offer 10% below asking price. This might be the case in other parts of the county, but not here in this price range.
As price creeps over $800,000, the demand gets softer. A buyer can get an FHA loan with only 3.5% down for mortgages under $730,000. Over that amount, buyers need more cash — 15 to 20%. The higher the loan amount, the higher the down payment percentage. Move-up buyers in the area can be challenged to come up with the extra cash especially if they have most of their cash locked-up in the equity of their current home. The stats for North Potomac vividly demonstrate this breaking point for financing a home much beyond the mid $700,000s.
These stats show inventory in late June 2009 and the number of contracts for the previous six months.

Snapshot of million dollar homes in Montgomery County
January 21st, 2009 Categories: Bethesda, North Potomac, Potomac
Amidst declining home values in Montgomery County, we still have a healthy market for homes in the upper brackets. In 2008, 770 homes priced $950,000 or more sold for a total of $1.1 billion (with a ‘B’). For all price ranges, about 8,500 homes sold for a total of $4.27 billion. So even though 770 homes represents only about 9% of the number of homes sold, this was over 25% of the total sales volume for the year.
Over 80% of all homes in this price range sold in Bethesda, Potomac and Chevy Chase. Of these areas, Chevy Chase has the lowest inventory with about 6.8 months available. Bethesda has 7.8 months and Potomac has 9.7 months worth of inventory. It’s a bit trite but true: in real estate, it’s all about ‘location, location, location’. In our market, the closer to metropolitan D.C., the more expensive the home.
Looking across the County, the area with the lowest inventory in this price range is (surprisingly) North Potomac. Granted, the market in North Potomac is very different that that of ‘the big three’. In 2008 the average sales price for Bethesda, Potomac and Chevy Chase in this price range was $1.4M, $1.6M and $1.5M respectively over a much larger number of sales. The average sales price in North Potomac was about $1,140,000 over just 29 sales.
