[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who said anything about needing to be close in or in Arlington/McLean or in any sort of "most desirable" area?  DH works sorta near Tysons with an easy exit to 495.

If 1000 square feet is working well for us now, I believe we will need no more than 1200 square feet.  We would prefer a TH or a neat condo to a run-down SFH.   Not new, but maybe 15 years old or so.  The idea of old, moldy houses stresses me out. 
I'm not trying to buy now, I know that's out and makes no sense anyway.  I'm thinking/worried about being able to buy EVER.  Or at least within the next five years.  DH job is stable and we're pretty sure we will be here.
It just sucks SO MUCH because DH and I lived live poor students early in our marriage to save up a DP, all for naught.

Part of the problem is that there isn't a lot of what we're looking for - smaller, newer, maybe in Fairfax/Burke.  Most of the newer stuff being built is big and expensive.[/quote]

Right, because Tysons is cheap.  Fairfax and Burke will be out of your reach also, unless you are ok with a tiny condo.  Really, you don't have enough income to support a home purchase.  [/quote]
