[quote=Anonymous]where will your husband work? The DC area is really large. If he's working anywhere in suburban Maryland/Virginia then you can definitely live in farther out suburbia and afford something. If he's working downtown then the far reaches of suburbia will be a very long commute and the city itself and the inner suburbs are likely out of reach on a $85-105K income. Also, what will your down payment be? In general, it's unlikely that you'll be able to upgrade on your Philly situation based on the cost-of-living salary upgrade here. Housing here is twice as expensive as Philly. Unless he is based somewhere in MD/VA (allowing him to comfortably commute from somewhere in the farther reaching suburbs) then I wouldn't move here on a $85Kish salary mainly because it will be a decrease in the quality of your housing.
