Washington D.C. Real Estate Market Ticks Up
Jim Bell, known as the“King of Kalorama,” says, the D.C. luxury real estate market is gaining positive momentum
Washington, DC (MediaQuire) October 14, 2009 (WFP.com) – Despite the abundance of luxury properties on the market nationally, the D.C. area real estate activity has been encouraging, according to, Jim Bell.
“The market was quiet in the beginning of the year,” says Jim Bell of Washington Fine Properties. “But since, the market has returned with strength and this is clearly a positive sign. We are busy daily with home showings, marketing, negotiations and most importantly, closings.”
Bell, whose company sells many of the luxury homes in the D.C. and Kalorama area, believes the luxury market is gaining positive momentum. Luxury home sales have improved compared to last year’s numbers, according to Bell. “When I compare real estate sales to last year, sales have clearly jumped up,” he said.
As the market continues to pick up, Bell recommends that in addition to the traditional marketing of buying and selling luxury homes, that buyers and sellers work with a realtor who is a specialist in luxury properties and one who also utilizes the latest technology in helping clients maximize profits while minimizing costs.
“It’s my goal to produce excellent results for my clients. Last year’s luxury real estate market was challenging for everyone but despite it all, affluent buyers and sellers can be confident we have the expertise and experience in the luxury home market,” says Bell.
