[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in a sought after close-in neighborhood in N Arlington and my “move up home” is worth nowhere near $2m (our first home was in a much less desirable area, which we stuck out for 7 years). Our current house is older, we’ve had to put money into cosmetic and functional updates, the kitchen is still small, and my office has to double as our guest room when family visits. This will be our forever home at this point because we have college tuition and orthodontics and whatever else our kids need to prioritize now. I’m okay that my house isn’t perfect and feel happy to even be a home owner in a place I like!

I get that the market is really tough right now for first time buyers, but a new construction $2m+ home is not a “starter.” Most people will never live in that type of home let alone start out in one.

Also, a young family can still buy something like this inside the beltway for under $1m. If you want to be close-in then get off Pinterest and change your idea of what you “need” to live in. https://redf.in/C2KbOQ[/quote]

This home is in nice location close in, but buyers are not checking for those home. Most posters here feels entitled to a sfh while a TH is getting out of reach for them. [/quote]
