OP Here - Thanks, yes I did see that home.  I like the price and location, but am hoping to get a colonial.

Those of you that live in the neighborhood - Is there any talk of UPES redistricting?  Is there room for all the new Riverdale TH families at UPES?

For those that bought recently, did you face a multiple bidding situation? Escalation clauses?[/quote]

I'm the PP who bought five years ago, so I suspect I don't count as "recent."  Back then, we placed an offer the first day the house went on the market for $20K under asking, I think, and they countered with $10K under asking.  Their realtor said they were expecting other offers, but who knows whether or not that was true.  They countered within about 48 hours, and we agreed quickly.  I have no idea whether it still works that way.

I meant to say earlier, with regard to the question about cash investors: there's definitely a shared community spirit of keeping landlords out.  So when a house comes on the market, neighbors advertise the listing widely, and sellers tend to want to avoid selling to landlords.  I know a half-dozen young families who have bought in the last 1-5 years, so sellers are definitely choosing us over any hypothetical cash offers.[/quote]
