SALES OPTIONS: •Sell 4 units complete: in the past 2 years, only 4 condos sold over 4M, all in Georgetown. This type of sale

will require a unique buyer for this price range, which is a relatively small universe, AND wants 4 units that can’t be combined into one. •Package 1 condo w unconnected 1 studio: no real comps exist. This option could offer a studio at discount if included in sale of the condo. •Sell each unit individually: provides the greatest return on investment. There will be the most demand for a single condo, thereby attracting more potential buyers and achieving a higher price. It is critical to use a local real estate broker in this market. Although the single family home market in Washington is very active, the condo market in all price ranges is much more constrained. Additionally, higher-end properties of all types are taking longer to sell. Understanding the dynamics of this market has never been more important. Marketing and exposure to the right potential buyers will be the key to successfully selling these condominiums.

The National Association of Realtors (NAR) finds 88% of buyers nationally use a realtor, while in the luxury market it is 98%. Additionally, homes sold with a realtor average 13% higher sale price than sale by owner.
