[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To remind everyone of something that should be obvious:   It does not matter whether you are in the walk zone or North Potomac; a decent part of your property value is due to the fact that you are zoned for Wootton.  If Wootton goes away that school premium goes away. I realize this will delight the trolls but this comes as part of the package.[/quote]

Your property value will not change because of the schools.  Really, there are homes for 800K, that is pretty typical in most neighborhoods, even ones you consider the ghetto.[/quote]

Are you serious? Are you implying that you will pay the same price for the same house no matter what school? give me a break.[/quote]

We bought our house for location and neighborhood and didn't really put that much thought into the schools, even though we were fine with them.  We bought before having kids.[/quote]

That’s great. But it doesn’t change the fact that houses are priced the way they are because of the schools they are zoned for. Just because you didn’t care doesn’t mean it isn’t true.

So, how do you explain houses going for 900K-2 million in areas you'd consider the ghetto?  Houses possibly worth more than yours?[/quote]

You know that’s not true. And if you did find houses that meet this criteria it would be because of the ridiculously large size. But even still, if a huge house is selling for 2 million in Downtown Gaithersburg-it would be selling for 6 million in Bethesda. Facts.
