[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP you could rent another year until the boundary decision is made. Prices are not going up in Boyds -if anything it continues to soften. If the area you like gets rezoned it will be worth even less. If it stays in NW it won't be much more than it costs now -might even be less anyway if the Montgomery County markets keeps softening.

OP here.  Circumstances are driving a change to a bigger house.  Waiting another year isn't really an option. I could plausibly wait until the Spring, but then I'm worried about getting pulled into the Spring buying frenzy.  This can be a pretty good time to find decent deals.

The simple fact is that these areas attract buyers with families, so schools are important.  While I wish I could think in terms of the poster at 14:51, I really can't. A move from NW to SVHS would almost certainly cause a noticeable drop.

Part of me wants to wait until the SVHS redistricting is decided, although I don't think that ultimately matters.  The areas I'm looking at remain in NW under all the current plan options.  While I know the BoE can always come back with a new plan, I think this area is unlikely to change in this first step.  But as they build more schools I don't know what's going to happen.  There's certainly interest in doing broader boundary changes.  I suspect the expensive areas downcounty are safe because of the political influence of homeowners and the logistics of busing, but I can't afford the homes down there.[/quote]
