[quote=Anonymous]I think the biggest thing to consider is that your jobs are secure, since you are in the federal government. But they are also not likely to go up anytime soon. I agree with the above poster. I would look for a house in the 1.2M range and then earmark the rest for renovations. New houses have lots of hidden costs - window treatments, closet organizers, landscaping - that are not always anticipated. And whichever way you go, remember you are going to need lots of new furniture to fill the house. Plus you will need to figure out lawn care - do it yourself has a high upfront cost to buy equipment, or ongoing weekly costs. [/quote]
