WaPo says it's "Out" to buy in Bloomingdale

The Washington Post published their annual list of What's In and What’s Out for 2012, and guess what they said about Bloomingdale? Yep, somebody at WaPo thinks it’s “out” to buy in Bloomingdale. Funny, the increasing number of people buying in Bloomingdale and the continuing activity of emerging local businesses make me think we’re just getting started. What do you think? Numbers below.

Happy 2012!

Yes, condo prices went down in 2011 in the neighborhood, but this could be primarily because a new conversion, the eight unit Flatiron of Bloomingdale at 143 Rhode Island Ave NW intentionally sold below market. I expect to see the condo prices increase over 2012.
