McWilliams|Ballard, the region’s leader in home sales and marketing, was thrilled to serve as the Navajo Nation’s real estate agency during their search for a new embassy and office for future advocacy in Washington, DC.

The monumental search for a new location to increase the tribe’s presence in Washington was led by Luke Joyce, Vice President of the Commercial Division, and Santee Lewis, Executive Director for Navajo Nation’s Washington Office.

The result of the vigorous search in Washington’s competitive real estate market was a beautiful and historic townhome at 11 D Street Southeast. Luke believed the size and location to be a perfect fit for their needs, allowing unmatched access to the Nation’s Capital and putting the entire Washington Region just minutes away. The Tribe agreed with his assessment and after voting approval 11 D Street Southeast will be the perfect permanent office and embassy for the Navajo Nation many decades to come

Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez, worked to assist in the approval of the purchase earlier this year. The purchase of this new property is a monumental milestone; catapulting advocacy efforts and making the Navajo Nation the only tribal nation to own office property a few steps from the U.S. Capitol Building.

“It was an honor and privilege to represent the Navajo Nation in this long and complex transaction. We were able to purchase an iconic building, with close proximity to the U.S. Capitol, that will provide permanent access and advocacy for the Navajo Nation for years to come.” says Luke Joyce, Vice President of the Commercial Division at McWilliams|Ballard.

McWilliams|Ballard’s Year End Condominium Market Overview Report Explains the 10% Dip in Metro Area New Condominium Sales in 2020 Was a Result of New Project Delays, Not Sagging Demand

Posted on February 22, 2021 by Derek Friday - Announcements

Washington, DC | February 22^nd, 2021

McWilliams|Ballard has released its 2020 Year End Washington Metropolitan Area Condominium Market Report. The report is a comprehensive analysis of the new and resale condominium marketplace in the Washington Area over the past 12 months.

The report confirms the COVID-19 pandemic’s effect was to delay the start of many new projects in The District, particularly in the critical months of March and April. More than any demand factors, this was the cause of the 262-unit year-over-year decline in Metro Area new sales to 2,411, a 10% decline. This response is temporary and not indicative of a longer downward trend. While the District’s new sales count fell 18%, several jurisdictions, including Alexandria City, Fairfax County, and Loudoun County, saw increased new sales, and all jurisdictions posted increases in the number of resales and average price.

Condominium resale quantity saw a 3.7% increase with a 6% average price increase over 2019. Average resale days on market fell three days as well. This is indicative of a lack of supply in the new condominium market and buyers bidding up prices for available resale product.

The development pipeline remains mostly composed of large apartment buildings, with, at most, 12% of units in the near term pipeline expected to deliver as for-sale condominium. Projects expected to deliver as for-sale condominium are also much smaller and unlikely to accumulate significant unsold inventory.
