[quote=Anonymous]I concur with those who say this is a generational shift. My parents dreamed of a house like these. Meanwhile, my wife and I are moving out of the city because we have two young children. We're buying a house that is incredibly walkable to everything in Bethesda. We are buying 5k sq ft, and spending more than the asking price of each of these houses. We want to be walking distance to a nice urban area. 5k square feet is plenty big for our family of 4. When we want to escape from the city, we have a house on a reasonable amount of land approx 2 hours from the city. Potomac has neither the benefit of being in an urban area nor the draw of being in the country. Rather, its benefit seems to be large houses and lots in a distance that is commutable (though painful), at least when commuting was a thing! We just don't want that.

Many people reasonably make different choices than we do. But, among our generation (mid to late 30s), my sense is we are more typical rather than outliers. [/quote]
