[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$500k.  15 year mortgage.  Wouldn't do it on any less unless you want to be house poor.  Million dollar homes aren't for $250k middle class earners.  No more than 2x HHI and 15 years.  If you can't afford that then you are looking at too much house and may need to check out Haymarket.

Are you trying to bait and trigger the snowflakes earning 100k around here?  $250k "middle class!!"  The horror.[/quote]

In the District proper, 250K HHI is not going to put you anywhere near the top earners. It's not middle class, but it won't be particularly comfortable either.  Probably holds true for the immediate wealthy suburbs, but I am not as familiar with that. We earn 450K and I feel like everyone I know does as well (mostly two lawyer households).  [/quote]

...you must have missed my sarcasm.  The point is that while I agree with you, there are lots of lower earners around here with a chip on their shoulder who will take issue with your characterization of $250k being middle class.  Just check out some of the other threads.

By the way, I agree that 250k around here buys you a middle class lifestyle.  Joys of DC COL.[/quote]
