Contact us at 301-983-8008 or toll free 800-944-5132 williams@mris.com The market is still extremely strong, although different from the way it has been for the last several years. It is much more of a buyer's market, typified by a higher inventory of homes on the market against a backdrop of lower buyer demand, except when homes are in top condition, top location and priced well. Consequently, if the target home is one of these prime properties, just as in the past, the sometimes larger challenge becomes how to prevail in the competitive effort to purchase it. The strategies used to win bids on homes can be quite extensive and we can offer you years of experience to help increase your odds in obtaining the home you choose to purchase.

Before 1900, Bethesda was very sparsely populated. There was a community of homes in Cabin John Park along the river, a few on Bradley, a couple in Edgemoor. There were homes in the present Glen Echo Heights area: Walhonding, Mohican, and Brookdale: Newport, and at least one on Westpath Way.

In the first ten years of the 20th century, a few homes were built in Oakmont, Wilson Lane, Radnor and Alta Vista, and 7 in Glen Echo Heights. The teens saw a dramatic increase in home construction in Edgemoor, Cabin John Park, Woodmont, Huntington Terrace, English Village and Glen Echo Heights, but the more serious development of Bethesda began in the 20's. In those 10 years, 90 new homes were built in Edgemoor, 83 in Battery Park, 46 in West Chevy Chase Heights, 51 in Cabin John Park, 37 in Brookmont, 36 in Huntington and Huntington Terrace, 32 more in Glen Echo Heights and 12 in English Village.

The thirties witnessed five times the volume of home building in Bethesda with established neighborhoods continuing to grow and new neighborhoods making their debuts such as Bradley Hills 57 new homes, Bradley Village 46, Rosedale Park 146, Battery Park 88, Greenwich Forest 165, English Village 62, Huntington and Huntington Village 228, Westboro 109, Alta Vista 39, Wheatley Hills 16, Lone Oak 21, Edgewood 49, Bradley Woods 40, Country Club Village 21, Glenbrook Knolls 47, Westgate 103, Westmoreland Hills 143, Brookdale 50, Greenacres 144, Fairway Hills 58, Westhaven 48 and Glenbrook Village 146.

Homebuilding leveled off in Bethesda during the war years and through the end of the forties. New neighborhoods appearing during these years were: Glenwood, Maplewood, Meadowlark Village, Ayrlawn, Bradmoor, Columbia Forest, Hillmead, Locust Hill Estates, Landon Woods, Woodburn, Whitehall Manor, Hendry Estates, Page Hill, Parkwood, Glen Mar Park, Woodacres, Sumner and Tulip Hill.

The fifties almost tripled the production of new homes in Bethesda over the forties. New neighborhoods emerged such as: Kenwood, Bradley Hills Grove, North Bethesda Grove, Georgetown Village, Kenwood Park, Merrimack Park, Oakwood Knolls, Parkview, Ashburton, Fernwood, Maplewood Estates, Pineview, Wilson Knolls, Burning Tree Valley, Greentree Manor, Marymount, Bradley Park, Longmeadow, Springfield, Fort Sumner and High Point.

New home sales decreased by roughly 50% in the sixties. New neighborhoods included: Maplewood Manor, Bannockburn Estates, Bradley Manor, Stratton Woods, Wildwood Knolls, Burning Tree Estates, Ashleigh, Carderock Springs, Charred Oak Estates and Smithfield.

Later years have seen far fewer neighborhoods established because most of the available land is built out. The seventies brought the Courts of Wyngate, Congressional Country Club Estates, and Al Marah. In eighties came Avenel, Goldsboro, West Bethesda Park, Al Marah, Parkside and a number of townhome neighborhoods such as Whitley Park, Grosvenor Mews and Bristol Square. In the nineties arrived Frenchman's Creek, Bannockburn East and Wildwood Manor.
