[quote=Anonymous]My spouse and I originally bought in MD. That was a starter home.  It was very affordable and we loved being able to walk to everything.  Fast foward 3 years later, we had our son.  We knew the schools in our area were horrible so after two years of day care we decided to move to DC.  My spouse was not crazy about the idea at all because he wanted to look at schools in Bethesda.  After doing a test-run move into DC by renting, our son got into our first choice public charter school, we then compelled us to consider staying in DC permanently.  We then looked for our forever home.  We looked, gave up, looked again.  We ended up buying in the dead of winter, got a really good deal for a house and now living through renovations.  IT's tough.  Come up with a target budget and know what your ceiling is.  It's very stressful so try not to rush for deadlines.  It's best when you have plenty of time (6 months to a year) to find that forever house. We ended up breaking our lease but didnt worry about the penalty because we had no pressure to buy the instant moment.[/quote]
