Gazette: Houses in area not moving as fast

June 15th, 2006

The market has slowed down, say local Realtors, and sellers are offereing incentives to buyers of luxury homes.

‘There are 65 houses right now in Bethesda-Chevy Chase above the price of $2 million,’ Bethesda realtor Jane Fairweather said. ‘And 51 percent are spec houses — empty, brand new, accruing interest every month spec houses. There’s huge choice, with very few buyers right now.’

Real estate agents also think that there will be fewer tear-downs as the market continues to cool.
