[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here and I can’t believe th lack of reading comprehension here. Nowhere did I say I want to saddle myself with a 1.7M house or even 1.3M. That’s exactly the point! I can’t do that and won’t do that, [b]but I could have had that’s EXACT SAME HOUSE and all the advantages that come with it, had I bought it at 1.1-1.2 2-3 years ago. [/b]That is the point. The exact same thing is suddenly no longer accessible to people who have saved and denied themselves literally their entire adult life to get it, only to see it slip away forever.[/quote]

OP, just wondering why you weren't able to buy back then?  It sounds like this was a really important goal for you. What happened?  Did you make offers but lost out to others?  Were you waiting for a house in a particular neighborhood/school district and none came open? [/quote]

does it really matter?  OP is where she is now.[/quote]

To find another reason the bash someone online, since that gives people so much pleasure, of course![/quote]

This is what’s really happened here. Those of you whining that you can’t have empathy because most people can’t have that live nowhere near the DMV and have no idea what’s happened in the past three years in real estate here. Yes, some places have gone up that much. And the interest rate doubled.

And where I lived before, only the UMC lived in homes over $400,000 so it’s rich to see so many of you in your $300,000 and $700,000 homes feel insulted and insult her as privileged. What a bunch of self-centered, unaware trolls.[/quote]

+1 this thread is a bunch of really privileged people getting upset and offended because someone else might be marginally more privileged than they are[/quote]

Dumb take. Two sanitation workers (garbage men) can literally make $100k a year in NYC and afford a $300k-$700k home. Ditto two upper step GS-11s, which are average middle class jobs. Salaries are higher in DC and NYC to adjust for the cost of living. A sanitation worker where you used to live is probably making half of what they’d make in NYC so of course they couldn’t afford a $500k home there. Context matters, obviously.

A single person, in this area, making enough to afford a $1.2M house is in a totally different class than the middle class couples who can afford a $300k to $700k homes and should have some self awareness about complaining about their inability to purchase a $1.2M home BY THEMSELVES. I’m using all caps because that is something everyone seems to be avoiding. If OP said she couldn’t afford a $1.2M condo in The Wharf and had to settle instead for a $800k condo on 14th Street NW would everyone be crying crocodile tears for her? This is beyond ridiculous and a lot of you people are tremendously out of touch.[/quote]

Hi, there is so much wrong with this post. All I ask is that you consider treating people in person the way you treat people online. That way you can actually face consequences for being a complete a-hole[/quote]
