2 Sold and Settled in February (09)
The Gates of McLean had 2 properties that Sold in February of 2009. That's a 100% increase vs. the 1 of the same month last year (08). So, definately good news on increasing transactions.
The properties themselves were very different. One was a 3 bedroom, Christine model, in building 1530. It was located on the 2nd floor. That property was asking $374,900 and ending up settling for $354,750. It was a cash transaction.
The other property that sold was a one bedroom, Danielle model, which is the largest you'll find in a secure building(1581). This property was also on the 2nd floor. The property was a bank owned property, also referred to as an REO. It was asking $199,900 and settled for $195,000. It sold rather quickly, being on the market only 23 days.

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.
