Samantha's read on this market.
"Samantha has 12607 Abbottsford Circle live in Fort Washington at $585,999. The market here has a clean two-tier structure — the Tantallon and Potomac-view pocket, and everything else — and the comps respect that distinction strictly. Buyers and investors need to underwrite to the right tier; comps from the wrong submarket will leave you upside down." — Samantha Allen, Maryland #5016504
