Gates of McLean - December (2008) Recap

What happened in the Gates of McLean in December of 2008? Well in terms of Real Estate, here's a recap:

There was 1 SOLD property, and 0 (zero) properties that RENTED.

The property that SOLD was a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom Preston model. This is the biggest 2 bedroom in the mid-rise buildings (see earlier blog if not sure about mid-rise vs. garden style building). This home sold for $$317,000 with a subsidy of $8,000. So an effective net price to the seller of $309,000. Coincidentally this was a bank owned property.

The lack of rental activity is not suprising. December is one of the most unappealing months to move, as people don't often like to move: a) during the winter, or b) close to the holidays. One would think that in a community of so many homes, and 40+ being rented each year, that there would be at least one rented in December. However, in the same month last year, 2007, there were also 0 (zero) RENTED properties.
