NoMa- A look at an evolving neighborhood
Understanding NoMa’s boundaries requires an understanding of the neighborhood’s name — short for “North of Massachusetts Avenue” — which might also be called a brand. In the 1850s, the area that is now NoMa was populated by refugees of the Irish potato famine, and by the early 1900s, construction of Union Station, its rail lines and other infrastructure required the razing of a number of the area’s buildings. The current name only dates back to the late 1990s, when a small area north of Massachusetts Avenue was dubbed NoMa to signify the new construction in the area. At the time, however, NoMa mostly referred to the area west of North Capitol Street, which is now more commonly considered part of the Mt. Vernon Triangle neighborhood. Plans to revitalize this area by bringing in high-tech jobs waned after the dot-com bust.Where It Is (And How It Got There)
DC Metro experiences most active June market in 6 years!
Rockville, MD - (July 11, 2011) - The following analysis of the Washington, D.C. Metro Area housing market has been prepared by housing market expert Jonathan Miller of Miller Samuel, based on the June 2011 RBI Pending Home Sales Index™ released today:OVERVIEW
Pending home sales continued their return to more consistent historical patterns, while reaching their highest June total in 6 years. The 6.9% month-over-month decline in contract signings was consistent with the 5.2% monthly decline averaged over the prior decade. The 29.5% year-over-year June increase in pending sales activity was due to the comparison with last year's post-tax credit drop in activity, not a current surge in demand. With the expansion of new contract activity in 2011, median sales price continued to rise in June reaching $379,990, its highest level since July 2008 and was 7.3% above June 2010 and 7.5% above May 2011.
