[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly I don't think prices there are going to fall over the long term.  If you plan to be there a while - you will be fine.  Go for it![/quote]

I agree.  Great Falls is Great Falls and will always be coveted.[/quote]

Agree with this - there is absolutely nothing like it - Potomac is close but more spread out and connected to Rockville and Gaithersburg - Great Falls is an island (yet still adjacent to Tysons and McLean), and is very unique.   Not for everyone, but it feels like a small town and removed from the chaos  -  I am personally not remotely worried about the 'trend' - love raising my family in Great Falls for so many reasons.   If you are worried about your commute, or a short or long term pricing trend, it wasn't for you in the first place.

Great Falls is "connected" to Reston and Sterling in the same way that Potomac is "connected" to Rockville and Gaithersburg.   It might be nicer if it were an island, but it's not, and those who live there have to put up with commuters piling on to the major roads that lead both in and out of Great Falls.

Some people don't care about the directions of prices, but the declining prices in Great Falls discourage others from looking there.  To blow potential residents off with a line like "it wasn't for you in the first place" may make you feel better, but it's the locals who suffer when they can't find buyers for their homes and the schools start to empty out.
