Century 21 Real Estate CEO Mike Miedler discusses rapid growth in the real estate market amid the coronavirus pandemic.
A home in Washington's historic Georgetown neighborhood where John F. Kennedy lived before his time as president just sold for $4.2 million.
The 35th president lived in the home in 1949 and ’50 during his time in Congress. His sister, Eunice Kennedy, also lived on the property.
The 4,659-square-foot Federal-style home was built in about 1800, according to the former listing. It includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms and two half-baths.
