Those HOA fees are ridiculous. They are not capped, so they can go up. This is why we purchased in Maryland. We have so much more at a lesser price. Love looking out the window watching deer play. Well-done video.

[@BashirBadruDMVRealtor]

Maryland is great too. location just depends on your lifestyle. gotta do what works for you 💪

[@jolietia]

300k, go to maryland. Youre welcome.

[@BashirBadruDMVRealtor]

300k doesnt get you as much as you think in Maryland these days. You’ll be surprised.

[@amapparatistkwabena]

A THOUSAND dollars a month for HOA fees are only possible in a money-grab, crony-capitalist system that is heightened to fever pitch like the America. This is absurd. The day I pay $1000 in addition to a mortgage, just take me out back. I stopped paying attention when you said "we'll come back to the HOA fees later" and immediately started searching for the cost. #NEVERNEVER

[@yinkastyles6144]

This video was so well done and informative.

[@BashirBadruDMVRealtor]

Thanks for spending time here 😊

I grew up in this neighborhood and we would shop at that giant when I was a child. Brings back memories. Anyway, I live in MD now but our family home is still there and we plan on keeping it in the family because the area is just so expensive. We bought in MD, about 700k for a 2700 sqft home on a fourth of an acre, 30 minutes drive from my childhood home. Closer to our work. We might move back someday if it makes sense for our jobs, but you can’t pass up the size of house you can get for far less outside of the district. I’d need over a million to buy in my old neighborhood

[@dianepowell5315]

HOA fees can’t be capped ! Some HOAs are 1500 and up!

[@dianepowell5315]

Where is the laundry and balcony? Is parking included in the cost of the condo?

[@MychaeltoddRH]

$1000 HOA for no laundry washer & dryer hook up in my unit? NO THANK YOU. Dark ugly dated kitchen & parquet floor, trust me- you can have a dog if it's an emotional support animal.

[@msnangiej]

Lol. I knew the condo fees were at or nr $1000 a month. Thats the extra $100,000 of the price. 🤗. However that is literally a steal for that area. Im sure it went pending in 7 days HAB.

[@BashirBadruDMVRealtor]

Lol nope. Been on the market over a month

[@msnangiej]

@@BashirBadruDMVRealtor Bashir! Thats a sign. Nothing nice in DC under $400 lasts! The market is stabilizing. That unit is wayyy too nice to be sitting. I wish i could live in a 1 bedroom!

[@BashirBadruDMVRealtor]

@@msnangiej yes, the market is definitely stabilizing. It’s been on fire for way too long. Still somewhat of a sellers market depending on the neighborhood and property, but a lot more friendly towards buyers these days.

[@DrLolaDane2]

This was an amazing video, can't wait to watch more!! You even made H St. NE look clean and empty of the regulars, something I've never seen in my life.🤣

[@BashirBadruDMVRealtor]

🤣🤣 Thanks for watching. More coming soon!

[@DrLolaDane2]

@@BashirBadruDMVRealtor -Will be watching.👍

[@runninrebel37]

Yall can keep Dc….ANY NEIGHBORHOOD! I will also say….WAIT the housing market is in a very interesting state. There very well may be a crash in the near future. I would also say negotiate the price….a lot of the units, homes or condos…are being priced on the high side for many unnecessary different reasons.

[@leroyf57]

The Deanwood home.. was that the Front door? No porch in the front or back ?

[@BashirBadruDMVRealtor]

No porch in the front. None in the back either. Just the side deck that leads to the backyard.

[@venus3393]

I've lived in DC over 20 yrs, and I know things are changing, but doesn't Trinidad and Deanwood have the reputation of being a bit...murdery?😆

[@CopperMe9]

lol @ “a bit…murdery “

[@BashirBadruDMVRealtor]

Yeah, Trinidad and Deanwood have had their share of challenges, but they're definitely on the upswing now. Times are changing!

[@kenyacarl3626]

Ummmmm. The HOA in DC condos are ridiculously high and make the 300 k figure not true

[@karozimathestar929]

Dog is not allowed but there is a dog park.

[@BashirBadruDMVRealtor]

The amenities are shared with the adjacent complex. They probably allow dogs in that complex.

[@MichaelCampanella-md6mr]

It’s shared with an apartment complex. Sharing the pool with the renter as well. I wish the transplants not from Dc would stop spreading bull

[@shareeminor9125]

No dogs! Deal breaker. Laundry not in apt. I'm done along with monthly HOA fees. I'm such a commoner😊

[@BashirBadruDMVRealtor]

Lol

[@iliveindetroit1]

nothing like buying a house

[@stephen6453]

The Deanwood home there no place to put a table to eat at

[@ExtraStout89]

with 3% down and the prop tax, homeowners insurance, private mortgage insurance, condo fee, and internet on top of the principle and interest you listed would probably bring the all in monthly cost at 3% down to approximately 5,000$ per month.

[@BashirBadruDMVRealtor]

5k a month, not possible. We frequently sell condos in that price range and i’m yet to see a mortgage payment exceed The 3k/month range even with high HOA fees and accounting for internet and cable. You pay 5k a month for 600k homes.

[@karimbennett5651]

It looks like an old-style 1970s subsidized housing project.

[@BashirBadruDMVRealtor]

🤔

[@cclibre3832]

Great Video…very interesting!

[@maxinef6654]

That HOA fee is ridiculous!! Those amenities aren’t all that

[@BashirBadruDMVRealtor]

Yes. Quite exuberant

[@bornandraisedindc3757]

I think it's a good investment. Very good area.

[@BashirBadruDMVRealtor]

@@bornandraisedindc3757 which one?

[@Abidjan-weekly]

Only older people with old money can live there. They already bought the apartment cash and now just paying HOA monthly from there SSI to live there😂.

[@BashirBadruDMVRealtor]

lots of young folks in the building. good demographgic mix

[@stephen6453]

Almost $1000 a month for HOA fees and you have share a small laundry room and it doesn't cover internet

[@joycesmith8120]

Seems high and no washer and dryer

[@BashirBadruDMVRealtor]

which one?

[@marianplummer3538]

Where is the island in the kitchen for more seating? I’m assuming it would take up to much because the area is small. Would not purchase.

[@dianepowell5315]

Condo’s are not a good deal ! Pass on them ! If the roof goes you absorb that cost if the HOA doesn’t have a reserve . New building no reserve! Where is the in-unit washer and dryer .

[@BashirBadruDMVRealtor]

i wouldnt say all condos are bad. You just have to do your homework into researching the affairs and history of the HOA before buying a condo in the HOA. Some HOA'S in DC are very efficiently ran and there also some not so great ones.

[@MychaeltoddRH]

$369k and no washer & dryer hook-up?! In a new 2024 built condo? No gfi near the toilet for a bidet?! Ain't no way- Aretha Franklin.

[@BashirBadruDMVRealtor]

@@MychaeltoddRH closet by front door

[@TeeCeedaFarmer]

is this still available?

[@BashirBadruDMVRealtor]

@@TeeCeedaFarmer which one? First, second or third?

[@MychaeltoddRH]

He started off with a lie, he said what $300k can get, and the apt was $312k...lol.

[@BashirBadruDMVRealtor]

Rewind to first 6 seconds, I start off by saying if your budget is in the “300k price range”

[@MrBrown-gj5cd]

Hw said range

[@MichaelCampanella-md6mr]

Not really the video was a lie. You don’t seem to know much about upper Nw. You called Van Ess, Forest Hills. Forest Hills is a very small part of Connecticut Ave. You are way off the mark with the last 2 videos I’ve seen. You need a bit more education on the city. Especially when you were describing the United States National Arboretum…. Ridiculous

[@MichaelCampanella-md6mr]

He wasn’t even giving the correct info on the neighborhood. Lol

[@BashirBadruDMVRealtor]

@@MichaelCampanella-md6mr well, despite my “lack of knowledge” of upper NW, im glad you got that far in the video to notice my ridiculous description on the arboretum. Thanks for watching 😉

[@ScorpionReddz]

I love that you provided the number breakdown and the Deanwood area is getting better at first when I seen it was on this list. I cringed.😅

[@BashirBadruDMVRealtor]

Haha no need to cringe

[@heathernelson9133]

I tell people that the arboretum is a tree museum.

[@Jessica-kk1cz]

Second property is nice. But no way that dinky water heater fills that tub.

[@BashirBadruDMVRealtor]

😆

[@agmcroom2374]

There’s no reason to pay a 900 HOA fee for stuff you may not really use

[@BashirBadruDMVRealtor]

🤷‍♂️

[@coachop94]

The second condo has a horrible floor plan & ugly
