Some great homes, all under 700. Got beat out in bidding war in two homes this weekend, but will try again with one coming on the market this coming weekend. A little further drive, but can take the pentagon bus or HOV into work.

Good choice

Good choice

+1 with all of the other metro development N Arlington is old news and not the place you will experience a high return on investment.

13:04 where in Arlington?

Looking generally in Arlington, McLean, Falls Church, a little in Alexandria... we might cast that net wider. Problem is public schools are a major consideration.

12:35 Yeah the low inventory is a killer. I don't expect prices to fall so much as I was hoping interest rates might dip again...

That home is almost 200K more than OP's target price?

You gotta pay to play
