In case you were out of town or busy at work, here is a quick rundown of some of the stories that UrbanTurf ran over the past week.

  • Here is a look at listings that we considered to be top-notch.
  • Our resident housing market guru analyzed housing statistics for the zip code that includes portions of neighborhoods like the H Street Corridor, Capitol Hill, Edgewood, Eckington, and Trinidad.
  • Another apartment project is in the works for the H Street Corridor.
  • We found a good deal on the edge of Capitol Hill and Hill East, but someone else found it, too.
  • Additional information came out about Eastbanc’s slew of new residential projects for Georgetown.
  • An UrbanTurf reader asked where they could buy a place for $250,000 and got a good deal of advice.
  • We learned that the penthouses at Abdo’s Gaslight Square project are already quite popular.
  • Mortgage rates dropped for the third week in a row.
  • We gave Chevy Chase the UrbanTurf treatment.
  • DC home owners started receiving their property tax assessments.
  • We learned that Waterfront Tower is close to selling out.
  • And we unintentionally started a debate about the merits of a 20 percent down payment.
