[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Inside the beltway MoCo is still a hot market. But Potomac McMansions? Desperation will set in as retirees leave the region and MoCo's stagnant economy fails to attract new jobs.[/quote]

Is there a moat with sea monsters between Potomac and DC? I’ve heard there are lots of jobs there...[/quote]

There are no jobs in Potomac, no jobs in Bethesda, no jobs anywhere in MoCo. That's the point. In-beltway MoCo will do okay because the commutes into DC/VA, where there are jobs, are reasonable. But up 270 or in Potomac? Good luck.[/quote]

I will let everyone in my Bethesda office know.  Thanks![/quote]

Yes, same here. Last I checked, I went to Bethesda to work today. And so did hundreds of other people in our company, many of whom live in VA. And this morning , my husband drove to his job in Rockville. Weird.[/quote]

The trend is your friend. People are talking about job GROWTH, of which MoCo has had essentially none in recent years.[/quote]

It's true- job growth has been low in MoCo.  But, population growth has been low as well.  I don't think its the right thing, but the anti-development crowd is in control in the county right now.  It's a stable situation, though.  It's just there's a large group of people desperately fighting to maintain the status quo, for better or worse.[/quote]
