MELANIE: Welcome to house number one.

What we have here is a eight-unit boutique condo, and you'll see a lot more of these coming up in the area rather than the big massive buildings that used to come about.

JEN: You know, we are on a bustling area of Rhode Island Avenue, but it's really green and quiet back here.

RICARDO: Yeah.

MELANIE: It's so private, so secluded.

It's very peaceful back here.

RICARDO: And I have to say, I'm a big fan of new construction and this looks brand new.

MELANIE: This is brand spanking new, just this year.

There's a keyless entry, and you also have some bike racks for your convenience, and it's pet-friendly, so you can bring all your furry friends with you.

JEN: Let's bring all of our furry friends next time.

RICARDO: Hey, say less.

MELANIE: All right, well please go inside and let me know what you think.

JEN: We'll see you afterwards for the game.

MELANIE: See you then.

RICARDO: Hey.

JEN: Ooh, nice and bright.

RICARDO: Yeah.

JEN: I really like the living space, certainly room for a TV, have your couch, have your furry friends on your lap.

RICARDO: Yeah, look at this window here, lets in a lot of light.

JEN: And I think that these light laminate floors really help keep it bright.

RICARDO: Mm-hmm.

JEN: Let's take a peek at this kitchen.

RICARDO: Yeah.

I love the appliances.

They all look fresh and new.

JEN: I like the hardware, matching not only the faucet, but really tying in these quartz countertops.

RICARDO: Yeah, and the backsplash also keeps the space bright and open.

JEN: Yeah, it's got a little ripple to it, which makes it a little different.

RICARDO: It's fun.

JEN: Yeah, let's see what else we got.

RICARDO: Okay.

JEN: Oh, this is a big bathroom.

RICARDO: Oh, this is a nice size.

It's also very bright in here.

I love the counter here.

It's similar to the counter in the kitchen.

JEN: And they also conveyed the black hardware.

I really love it in the shower as well.

RICARDO: Yeah, it's a great contrast to the tile work.

JEN: Doesn't have the ripple in here, but I think I like it.

Nice size bedroom.

RICARDO: Yeah, nice big window in here.

JEN: Yeah, and a lot of storage in this double door closet.

This unit has a lot of storage so far.

RICARDO: Yeah.

JEN: All right.

RICARDO: Let's keep going.

JEN: Okay, look at all the light, and while you don't have a ton of outdoor space access, this almost makes it feel like you do.

RICARDO: Yeah, I love a Juliet balcony.

JEN: Yeah.

RICARDO: Let in a fresh breeze.

A sliding door, which keeps a door from invading the space.

JEN: Well, I think it's about that time.

RICARDO: To find Melanie?

JEN: Yeah.

RICARDO: You ready to lose?

JEN: Game number one, am I ready to lose?

RICARDO: Mm-hmm.

JEN: No, I'm feeling fresh today, but thanks for asking.

RICARDO: Then bring it.

JEN: Oh-ho!

MELANIE: Welcome back.

JEN: Thanks, Mel.

MELANIE: All right, so, what did you think about house number one?

JEN: So bright.

RICARDO: So bright.

JEN: Yeah.

RICARDO: I absolutely love the big windows, letting in all of that light.

JEN: Yeah, it really made the space feel very open, airy, just very spacious, given the square footage.

RICARDO: I love how cohesive the unit is.

You've got the floors... MELANIE: Mm-hmm.

RICARDO: That are consistent throughout.

The hardware in the kitchen and in the bathroom.

JEN: Yeah, the sinks, the shower head.

It's small details sometimes that you don't pay attention to... MELANIE: Right.

JEN: That, in the long run, really do kind of elevate a unit.

MELANIE: It does.

RICARDO: So, I'm curious, what exactly is the condo fee for the unit?

MELANIE: It is 196 a month, and that does include a utility, the water bill.

JEN: Oh.

RICARDO: Oh.

MELANIE: Yes, so, that's one bill you don't have to worry about.

RICARDO: Time for some really long showers.

MELANIE: All right!

JEN: Yeah!

So, before we get to the game, can you give us the specs on the property?

MELANIE: It's two bedrooms, one bath, 500 square feet, and it was built in 2024.

RICARDO: Jumping in with 400,000.

MELANIE: Okay.

JEN: All right.

RICARDO: Yeah.

JEN: I'm gonna be a little more conservative and I'm gonna guess 369,000.

MELANIE: Well, the price is, drum roll... 375.

RICARDO: Oh!

MELANIE: Jen, you're the winner!

RICARDO: Congratulations, Jen.

JEN: Oh, thank you.

MELANIE: Next time, You have two chances to redeem yourself.

RICARDO: That's right.

You're going down.

JEN: All right, well, let's go down to property number two.

MELANIE: All right.

RICARDO: All right, that sounds good.

MELANIE: Let's go.

JEN: Woo-hoo!

Big winner.
