What Google Thinks of Georgetown
As covered by WAMU the other day, blogger Nathan Shivar has compiled some Google auto-complete results for various cities. What that means is that because Google attempts to complete your entry with the most popular permutations, you can see what others have searched for. It’s a neat way to find out what people think about a topic.
Thus, Shivar’s website found that when you type “Why is Washington”, a lot of people finished that question with “Dangerous”, “Humid”, and “Expensive”.
GM decided to try it for Georgetown. You can see the results above. Continue reading

Is Prospect Street Really That Bad?
The other day, GM asked whether you’d be willing to live in a murder scene to save a few hundred thousand dollars. Inspired by another Georgetown listing, GM is back today to ask a different question: is Prospect Street really that bad?
The house at 3344 Prospect St. just went on sale. It’s a beautiful 4 bedroom/3 bathroom house with updated finishes throughout. And it seems well under-priced at just $1.399 million. Yes that sounds crazy to say something almost a million and a half is under-priced, but homes of its quality in other parts of Georgetown would likely sell much closer to $2 million.
And in fact the listing itself demonstrates how much it’s under-priced. The description states: “Entry level can be rented out, currently receives $2,300/month and main house receives $8,500/month.” In other words, this house produces $10,800 a month in income. Continue reading

Would You Pay $1 Million to Live in a Murder Scene?
The former home of Viola Drath, 3206 Q St., is now for sale for $995k. It’s a stately three bed room Victorian on a beautiful street.
It’s also the scene of her murder.
As you can see from the online tour, the interior appears to have been spruced up considerably. GM heard that when the house was occupied by Drath and her fabulist husband (and likely murderer), the interior was frighteningly dark and creepy. It looks like they addressed that particular problem.
But it is still and always will be the scene of a gruesome murder. Would you buy the house, knowing that? Continue reading
