A detailed description of the WMATA methodologies employed to evaluate impacts for each MAINTENANCE resource and the relevant regulatory framework is YARD given in chapter 3, Methodology. The Greenbelt site consists of approximately 61 acres immediately adjacent to the Greenbelt Metro Station ¨¦§495 ¨¦§95 on Greenbelt Metro Drive in the City of Greenbelt, HOLLYWOOD Prince George’s County, Maryland, as shown in figure 5-1. It is bound on the north by Greenbelt Metro Drive and on the east by Cherrywood Lane. The southern and eastern boundaries are based on an option agreement signed with the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) and the A.H.

  • Seven Tactics for Real Estate Bargaining a Data-Driven Approach to Negotiations for Home-Buyers
    Seven Tactics for Real Estate Bargaining A Data-Driven Approach to Negotiations for Home-Buyers July 2008 Introduction As the real estate market has swung in buyer's favor, more homebuyers are shopping for deals. Many are looking for under-priced homes. Their focus is on the property: its location, square footage and asking price. But the best deals may lie in over-priced homes, where the seller is more willing to negotiate. To identify these opportunities, one has to focus on the seller: how long he has been waiting for a buyer, what he has already invested in selling the property and how much he stands to gain from its sale. To evaluate sellers' willingness to bargain, Redfin analyzed the sales of 9,053 single- family houses in Los Angeles (California), Fairfax (Virginia) and King (Washington) counties between April 15, 2008 and June 15, 2008. While most homes sold within 3% of the asking price, a significant number sold for much less, more than 10% below the asking price. We thus divided the transactions into two groups, those that sold for a large discount (The Discount Group, comprised of sales where the discount off the final asking price was in the top ten percentile for that market) and those that didn't (The Rest). Then we compared the two. The difference in concessions was significant: the average discount for The Discount Group was 11.4% off the final asking price, whereas the average discount for The Rest was 1.5%. For a home listed at $500,000, The Discount Group would have saved $57,000 off the asking price, compared to The Rest's $7,500.

Ciii•l1111 Bethesda, Maryland Senior Mobility and Accessibility Needs and Barriers Study EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Senior Mobility and Accessibility Needs and Barriers Study, funded through the National Capital Region Transportation Planning Board Transportation/Land-Use Connections (TLC) Technical Assistance Program, brought together stakeholders in the Greenbelt community and solicited residents’ input to: Identify key areas where Greenbelt’s older adult and disabled populations are underserved, and Recommend transportation projects to best serve these populations. To accomplish this, a Needs and Barriers Assessment was conducted to identify transportation needs and barriers for older adults and people with disabilities living in Greenbelt. The assessment includes a review of demographic and land use data, outreach to the community through a survey and meetings with stakeholders in the Greenbelt community. Following these efforts, options were developed to address the needs and barriers identified. The Needs and Barriers Assessment found that the majority of older adults live in the northwest section of Greenbelt. The percent increase in population for the age 90 and over group from 2000 to 2010 is significantly
