am i the only one who thinks that asking price is insane?

My buddy who lives on 3rd St said this house was just purchased a few months back in the 700 - 800k range. I don't see anything to back that up on the DC property tax database though. It doesn't look like any improvements were made either. The 1.4 mill asking price IS ridiculous. Does anyone have the details on the last transaction?

$1.4 MILLION?!?! Even on three lots, that's crazy. Sounds a lot like the little boarded-up dump down near me in Truxton Circle that is trying to go for over $500,000...
Yeesh.

Yeah this is absolutely insane. We live across the street from this place and it went up for sale shortly after we moved into our apartment. I was curious so I went to check our the isting price and about DIED when I saw 1.4 million. I love my neighborhood, but it's not like this is a freestanding mansion in Dupont. Besides that, its in horrible shape despite its renovation potential. I think this is a perfect example of American Greed at it's finest. Obviously the seller has not been paying attention to the housing market the past 2 years... Unbeievable
