[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you have a good job and like where you live why would you move? I don't get this.[/quote]

yea, why would someone make investment decisions by considering future returns that involve hundreds of thousands/millions of dollars?[/quote]

You’re treating were you live primarily as an investment, which is a big problem. If it was all about investment and appreciation, you would by a house in close in PG or move to Houston like PP said.

Close-in MoCo is just objectively nicer than NoVA, one of the reasons being precisely that growth has been limited and it’s more open, greener and has more pre WW2 homes with character. If people chose “job growth” as the lone metric on where to live, Dallas would be more desirable than Laguna Beach...[/quote]

This.  When we were looking in 2014, Bethesda/Chevy Chase seemed more expensive than McLean/Arlington, but we chose Chevy Chase because it was in a totally different league in terms of neighborhood quality and character, beauty, etc.  I'm sure we would have made more money had we bought an Arlington house, but I would have made the same decision today.  Now that Bethesda/Chevy Chase appear to be cheaper than Arlington/McLean, it would actually be an even easier decision!  [/quote]
