| it seems to be priced aggressively to get offers. there are plenty of large homes in that same area in the 850k - 1.4m range. |

| It's far. The school districts are just OK. It was probably a tract home... |

| That's way beyond "outside the beltway." |

I don't mind the house, but it's clearly cheaper than a house you'd find closer in because it's pretty darn far. If you worked in DC and lived in that house, you'd spend your life in the car.

| That is like asking. Why are houses in Frederick so cheap? Because of how far out it is. That is the answer. The commute is hell. |

| I actually moved from DC to AA county 6 years ago. Yes, the commute is long. No doubt. But plenty of people do it. And many people do want a big house in a nice area with good schools and easy accessibility to DC, Baltimore, Annapolis, Eastern Shore, etc. It is a very nice place to live. This house is actually priced well for this area. Other houses that size and with that kind of high end interior go for much more. |

OP here. Right, that's why I am asking. I've looked quite a bit in the Annapolis area and this home seems to be priced really well for there. |
