[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not to open another can of worms and make it a 20-page thread, but I am starting to see another topic/concern emerging.  Are people with our budget of 1.2m considered a "financially struggling" category? We like to live below means and could up our budget, but I don't see the necessity as I see properties meeting the needs in this budget, maybe not to everyone's standards, but ok for us. I am just looking for feedback on the feel and character of the the areas as well as schools more so than to try to find out if we are going to feel poor in one area vs. another, but maybe that's important too.

To add to this, someone posted a house in Mclean for under 900K which in my books is totally livable with some updates for which there is certainly room in the budget.  Seems walkable to DT Mclean too, what am I missing? Not that we are ready to get over there now and look at this house, but if such options exist as well as others posted here, I don't necessarily feel like we are "priced out". [/quote]

It is true what one poster said, you'll likely have to make multiple bids so don't get your heart set on the first house and get a great realtor who is really connected to the area wherever you decide. it's a hot market but your budget is completely reasonable.[/quote]
