[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are in the same boat OP. Unfortunately, my DH and I dont agree on a lot  :roll:

He doesnt care about commute, my hard line is commute under 45 minutes at rush hour including daycare pickup and dropoff
He cares about schools and I think things can swing either way in the 5years plus before he enters K
I want turn key he sees "potential" -but neither of us are handy and he cant do basic tasks at home regularly so I dont see big projects getting done DIY

My biggest complaint with the market right now is that people are trying to sell houses for 50-100K more with no updates or changes from when they bought in 2015. Find another sucker because I am not paying more for a house you have worn down without improving. If you [b]put a new roof, new appliances, updated bathroom and kitchens, etc. - maybe 50K but not 100 or 125K increase.[/b]  We are looking in PG, Howard, AA county areas.

So you think the only way a house should appreciate by 50K is if someone actually spent 50K on it? Do you just not believe in inflation?

Housing around here in most desirable areas goes up 3-4% a year. On a 500K, house, with just a 3% annual rate of increase, it would be worth over 560K now vs. 2015.

Sorry if you won't "play" but that just means you won't get a house. [/quote]

I personally won't play and I let you totally keep your house.[/quote]

I’m with you. Salaries aren’t going up to compensate for the housing and it can’t go up forever.  Home ownership isn’t the investment it used to be. [/quote]
