This 650-square-foot Georgetown home is the most expensive property on this list. Besides being in a fairly popular and quaint neighborhood, what makes this three-bedroom, two-bathroom listing so expensive is that it offers four renovated, finished levels and a kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a backsplash, and quartz countertops.

Buyers of this 704-square-foot Congress Heights home have the option to either renovate it or tear it down. The two-bedroom, one-bathroom listing offers both street and rear parking as well as a spacious backyard. The inside is a little rough with walls that need to be painted and floors that should be refinished. It first landed on the market in July 2017 and recently underwent a price chop that dropped it by $10,000.
