Real estate agent Antonio Atacan shares:

“Nearly 200 townhouse sales in one year shows strong buyer commitment. Fairmount’s classic rowhomes — some preserved, some fully modernized — attracted a wide range of buyers.”

Fully renovated homes with parking and outdoor space commanded premium prices. Renovation opportunities also existed for buyers willing to take on projects.
