High housing prices are due to high demand, low inventory. It's currently a seller's market so things are flying everywhere.
That's mortar they were sloppy with when coating that whole wall with it (the wall is cinder block, coated in mortar, and then painted...let me know how that works through freeze/thaw cycles!).
Things are insane in DC in general (you've got the dynamics right of low inventory and high demand), but my block is in an especially interesting spot because there's additional demand for the outdoor space (while not in the state my back yard is in, this one has the same size yard). Or so the bright-eyed young homeowners cashing out their retirement accounts to win bidding wars think, until they actually have to do the maintenance.
