[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Given interest rates are low..on $600k mortgage (i.e. high 700s to 800k house) a 30-year fixed you could probably swing a payment of $3500 including tax, less on an ARM (depending on your situation these can still be appropriate instruments depending on your time horizon and situation). That's doable on your income, but may well be your stretch if you want to prioritize living close in etc.

May want to consider a TH in Arlington given your budget range...decent trade-off as you will get more space than an SFH in your price range. [/quote]

You must be stuck in 2005 to think a north arlington town house  cost b that much, you can get a sfh for that price.[/quote]

We're talking about N Arlington and you clearly don't know the market, this isn't Herndon, and the prices in Arlington didn't really drop all that much- there are THs here (particularly walkable to the orange line stops) that regularly sell up to and over $1M. Do a simple search of redfin right now and you'll see that almost every listed TH in N Arlington is over $600k. A year ago, we bought a $875k TH in Arlington walkable to a metro b/c the equivalent priced house in the area would have been half the size. [/quote]
