[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lol, I'd love to be able to afford a "small starter home". We are two working professionals in NW DC and those homes start at $1.5M. [/quote]

I live in NW but not WOTP in a small house with a family and while there aren't a lot of homes on the market there are absolutely some available for $700-900k. You just won't get anything WOTP.

You can find very small houses in Capitol Hill in the 600k range where you can send kids to the DCPS through middle school. But they are VERY small. If you can go up to 900k you can find something bigger.

But … personally I don’t think $900k is a “started home.” without family support most people won’t be able to buy a house that expensive until well into their careers.

For a true starter home you need to go much further out … [/quote]

I'm not disagreeing with your point but the idea that PP floated that the only homes available are $1.5, even in an area (SP) that feeds to J-R. It's not true. You could also pretty comfortably send kids to the Takoma schools through MS with Wells improving and have walkability.[/quote]
