[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does 1 person need a 1.7M property? I mean, I sympathize, OP. We were in the same exact position, but as a family of 4, so buying a modest 3br in our hood was our aim. Now we’ll be renting forever. If I were you, I’d buy a close in 2br condo in a great neighborhood and build equity. [/quote]

She has kids. [/quote]

I have a husband and two kids and we live in a 3BR 3.5BA townhouse we're about to sell for $700K. We're in a good neighborhood in close-in NOVA with good schools. In fact, our neighbor across the street is a single mom with two kids -- the house is perfect for that. Not sure why OP is feeling entitled to a $1.3 Million dollar McMansion.[/quote]

The quoted PP said a single person doesn’t need that. Your comment is all about you.  She’s not entitled, she’s frustrated and disappointed that housing here increased drastically and rapidly.  Why throw in McMansion?  You’re trying to insult her multiple times but [b]you just sound  bitter, angry and jealous.[/b]  The crappy housing situation here does that to people but no need to take it out on another person who’s unhappy about it.

Nope, quite the opposite, actually. We're making enough money to afford a really nice house a little further out than where we live. I get OP's frustration - houses that we could have easily afforded 3 years ago are now out of our budget, but unlike OP, we've compromised and we're moving a little further out where can get a newer, nicer, larger home for what we are willing to pay.

p.s. I don't get why OP being a single mom even matters. She clearly makes more money than me and my husband combined if she can afford a $1.3 million dollar home. $1.3 million where I'm moving can, in fact, get you a nice house. Not everyone needs to live in North Arlington or Bethesda. OP needs to compromise and being all "woe is me I'm a single mom" when she clearly has a lot of money does actually make her sound entitled and super annoying. You sound like the bitter one, PP.[/quote]
