[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I couldn't find a house under 700k near Tysons when I was looking 9 years ago. I think you're looking for a unicorn. I think most sfhs are now over 1m.

[b]I think you should buy a townhouse and save for another 5 years, then move again.[/b][/quote]

This is solid advice, but I will say that I've met a few families that had this exact plan in the Tyson's area and prices rose so much that even with saving they couldn't afford a SFH or it was expensive enough that they didn't want to stretch. If you're buying at the top of your budget in Tyson's/Vienna I would not count on being able to move again 5 years.[/quote]

This was us!! We stayed in our townhouse 10 years and just moved much further west after not finding anything in our target area!! [/quote]

Us too!  Babies don't need that much space...it's all the crap the industry has convinced us we absolutely need that does.  Went from an apartment at birth to a 4 bedroom SFH with a nice yard along the Dulles Road, 10-15 mins from Tysons before preschool.  Totally skipped the townhouse phase because having already moved a lot, we decided when we bought, that was it, not moving again.[/quote]

I wish we had done that. Now I have elementary-aged kids who have to switch schools and leave their friends.[/quote]
