[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It just depends on your expectations. If you expect to buy a nice house at 30 with kids, then yes it's too expensive for most people. [b] If you are willing to have a starter home, or condo with kids, I think it's doable, even in DC area.[/b] I see too many younger adults think they should be able to afford the same things that a 40+ yr old has. I had this conversation with another person. They are much younger than my DH and I. I reminded this person that we are much much older, and we are at a different stage in our lives. [/quote] I am willing to live in a condo with kids (which I do). My observation is that anything in firm "starter" range in DC proper is vulnerable to developers looking to convert it into condos or someone with all cash and no contingencies. This applies to many areas of DC (NE and NW especially).[/quote]
