TRENDS+ PREDICTIONS Q&A with Ritzert Weiss Partnership District Home Magazine: What real estate trends did you notice in 2014?

Ritzert Weiss Partnership: The recession is officially over throughout the DC area market for single-family homes. While inventory grew as the number of contracts fell across most residential categories (townhouses, condominiums), single-family detached homes saw increases in prices as well as the number of sales.

Additionally, migration into the District and more urbanized surrounding areas continues. This was especially apparent in the luxury market, a market segment that is less sensitive to potential interest rate and job market fluctuations. Transactions in Washington, DC over $3 million increased 66% over 2013, while in Northern Virginia and suburban Maryland areas they declined 20% and 8% respectively. With limited housing supply in urbanized areas and traffic concerns ever on the rise, we expect the move-in trend in the luxury market will continue in 2015.

DHM: What can you predict for 2015?

RWP: Location, location, location. As more buyers choose areas closer to urban and suburban centers, those willing to invest outside these hubs will find deals. If inventory continues to rise, sellers will benefit from hiring experienced agents with a pulse on market data and creative strategies to distinguish their properties from the competition. While interest rates remain low and the job market steadily improves, we anticipate homebuyers will absorb new inventory and the 2015 DC market should continue to grow.

DHM: Why are you qualified to offer market predictions?

RWP: With 60 years combined experience providing real estate services in the Washington, DC metropolitan area, our Partnership has successfully assisted buyers and sellers in in diverse price ranges and neighborhoods, in multiple cycles of bull and bear markets. In 2014, for example, we participated in transactions ranging from $400,000 to $20 million across 20 different area-wide neighborhoods. Experience matters!

aT h o M e i n C R e s T W o o D as a WashinGTon ResiDenT for the past 37 years, i have been privileged to spend the last 15 of those in Crestwood. it has been an honor to work with superb architects and skilled craftsmen in the restoration of our spanish Colonial Revival residence built in 1926. having a large lot gave us the opportunity to create this pavilion, allowing us to enjoy our garden in all seasons. it also gave us the chance to engage in a creative endeavor that was the product of experiencing residential architecture throughout the United states and the world.

Crestwood is a neighborhood, like many of those i represent—including sixteenth street heights, shepherd Park, Colonial Village, Brightwood, Petworth, and Takoma—which offers large single-family houses on attractive, well-landscaped lots. These suburban-style neighborhoods, in one of the most diverse wards of the city, are a great value for those wishing to move into more commodious arrangements. having enough space for all of life’s activities is my definition of luxury. i look forward to showing you these exceptional and charming neighborhoods… a chance for you to create a lifestyle suited to your own interests and sensibilities.
