Buying or selling a home in the DC area ? Let's work together calendly.com/bashirbadru/washington-dc-relocation-consult Call or text 202-672-4840 Email- Bashir@liveindcmetronow.com
One million would go further in Maryland obviously but man, I'm not a house person so I'd put that million on a nice condo, loft or townhome where I have limited things to do. Mowing lawns isn't my thing. Plus accessibility, walk-ability and convenience matters to me.
The first house in DC is beautiful. My personal thoughts are for $1.2 million dollars, it shouldn't be a row home and they should make sure they have grounds cleaned (leaves swept) for appeal when trying to sell a $1.2 Million home. I LOVE the house in Maryland! I would figure out how to put some type of doors on the closet-type space near the livingroom. They could have had the basement floor black and grey vs blue (that blue is a really specific color). Something more neutral. But that wouldn't stop me from buying the house. Love all the windows but would need to install window treatments for the lower windows. I would definitely cut that tree down in the backyard. I think this house is priced appropriately.
I think the basement floors in the Maryland home has some kind of resin or epoxy finish. I think the blue colors in the floors cheapens the look and doesn't go with the rest of the home's design. They should've continued with the heated tile flooring down there.
The recessed hood in the house located in Silver Springs, MD may be good for aesthetics, but in terms of kitchen cleanliness and the funtuinality of the exhaust ventilation system that pulls the airbourne debris from food cooking on the gas range out of the house to the outdoor air, two problems may srise. They are as follows: 1) The area of the kitchen ceiling that surrounds the perimeter of the recessed hood will most likely become stained with the debris rising up from the food that cooks on the gas range. 2) The necessary "induced draft" (pull) from the exhaust fan which is part of the hood exhaust system will need to be quite high due to the significant vertical distance from the gas range to the ceiling. That distance requires a higher horsepower exhasust fan motor to create the necessary induced draft (pull) needed to exhaust the cooking debris. The higher horsepower motor will cause a louder acoustic signature (noise) to be emitted from the hood exhaust system. For those two above-listed reasons, in my opinion, it would have been better to build the gas range into the same wall that the double ovens are located in. Doing so, would have allowed a ventillation hood duct system to have been built into the wall to extend down to be right over the range. The debris from cooking food would rise up to the entrance to the ductwork easier than having to rise all the way uo to the ceiling. Less induced draft (pull) would be needed because of the ductwork extending down closer to the gas range. Basically, the exhaust fan would be much closer to the range because the exhaust fan in residential kitchen exhaust systems is built into the ductwork right at the inlet section of the ductwork which is the part of the ductwork closest to the gas range. Because the exhaust fan motor would be closer to the gas cooking range, the fan motor would be a smaller horsepower rating. Therefore, it would emit less noise relative to an exhaust fan located above the ceiling. The outlet section of the exhaust ventilation ductwork is located on the roof of the house. I appreciate the work that you execute in creating your videos, sir. Your diligence is really nice!
Come on! The Maryland house lost me at the “primary” suite. That closet situation was a major let down (3 rotten eggs) I could fix the basement. Also, about those property taxes. As a DC homeowner I never pay tickets that would amount to double my property taxes, so that was a false equivalency. Any way, overall I enjoy watching your channel. I look forward to your tours and reviews. Thanks.
@@BriStoneManor What I meant was not that an individual would pay tickets amounting to double their property taxes. Instead, I was referring to the collective revenue the District receives from tickets across its 600,000+ population, would make up for lower property taxes.
Got it. Overall I find your tours and reviews reasonably and sensible. I’m not going to say I would tap you to sale my home, but you are in my top 5 (and my husband’s top 2) I’m confident you would do a great job.
@@Just_I_man DC is definitely not in Maryland. The DC vs MD comparison would be more like a Queens vs Brooklyn comparison. Not a Manhattan or New york comparison.
@@BashirBadruDMVRealtor That doesn't make sense. Those small boroughs can't compare to 10 square miles of Washington DC to a massive 12,407 square miles of Maryland. I know constitution wise, politically and logistically DC has been looked at as the federal district that is the capital of the U.S. but historically people have made it a part of MD for a while. Especially, when you hear people say DelMarVa which was the original DMV (DE, MD & VA/Tristate area). But some, if not most, DC residents are too arrogant to hear that and want to say DMV means DC, MD & VA and consider it something bigger than what it is. Yet, realtor wise there are probably points you could make (laws, boundaries and market values) that would say otherwise. I'm just too old school to see it any other way. Either way, love the videos👍🏾.

I’m black, so yes, we would be getting curtains for the house with the wall of windows 😊. Thank you for showing us these 2 lovely homes 🫶🏾
Hello Mr. Bashir! Great video as usual ! My husband and and I look forward to your videos every weekend.
@@jadetate9713 thank y’all for always tuning in !

DC has school options and a lot of really good charter, public and private schools. I absolutely love DC schools.
I love how you showcase DC. I’m always like wow I did not know that was there. I don’t think I would ever sale my DC home.
Nice to see you’re playing OutKast in the background. That’s a good sign
Maryland hands down!
I'd take Maryland all day.
I would take the house in MD with nooo hesitation. If I can afford a home at that price point then can afford a vehicle lol

@BriStoneManor What an odd comment.
My heart says DC but my pockets says MD 😭
😂😂😂Yes you’re money goes further in Maryland, but I love DC. 😂
My dream is to buy land and build a family complex
DC is in Maryland🤨. That's like saying Manhattan or New York. But for game sake, I'd do Columbia, MD.
