[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m OP and I appreciate all the different answers assuming y’all are honest. And I respect the people who honestly disclose the hard work, grind and hustle it took to get there.

However, I just don’t see the numbers adding up. I’ve been a job seeker and I know the job market. I also know the housing market. By definition, only 1% of us can be the top 1%. Where are all the rest of the middle class people like me hiding? In their small outside-the-beltway condos and used Priuses? I just feel like I’m missing something here. The hidden high paying job market. [/quote]

What you're not seeing is generational wealth. Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of people in this area who make 400K+ and thus can afford this insanely overpriced SFH in their own right, but there are also many many people who have similar homes but whose salaries don't seem to make sense with that reality. It's because they have family money. It may be huge sums of money that were gifted to support down payments or it may be in the form of a debt free education that means they were able to start saving for these homes/retirement/etc. much earlier. Or they have grandparents who pay for their children's private education, etc. so they don't have those expenses and can afford more in a mortgage. [/quote]
