[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We don’t need to worry about schools. We luckily are already in a charter that we are happy with. It gives us flexibility to focus on other neighborhood features.  Like I said earlier, I’m mainly trying to get a sense of what folks think the market will do in the spring. One of the biggest hesitations is being so far from downtown. It makes biking less of an option. [/quote]

We live in Brightwood. I take metro everyday (it takes me about 15 minutes to walk if I'm not hustling) and also frequently run to and from my downtown office (4-5 miles). I thought I'd hate being further from downtown but now that we have kids (in a charter school near us) I like it actually (we also use Silver Spring as a second downtown, if that makes sense).

I do think the market will be an issue. We'd like to stay in the neighborhood but buy a bigger home. Granted it's a flip with a big lot, but this house on 8th street just went on the market for $950 and was off the market in a few days. We feel a bit dejected (and worry about buying at that price and then having the market not support any more growth).[/quote]
