[quote=Anonymous]Painting an entire county broad-brush is really odd. Do you mean to tell me that Olney is the same as Bethesda is the same as Clarksburg? Do you mean that townhouses or condos on the red line are the same as farms out in Darnestown? There has been appreciation, but the types of housing that are appreciating most are not the same as 20 or 30 years ago. People are a little less interested in fixing up older homes and more interested in newer homes, closer to the amenities they prefer (subway, dining, schools, whatever). Why do you think all of the land along 270 that used to be farms from Gaithersburg to Frederick is now filled in? People were interested in new houses or condos or townhouses, and they were willing to pay for new build and spend their money that way with perhaps a longer commute than buy an older home closer in. As long as Washington DC is near Maryland, it will have somewhat of a floor for real estate, but I do think people are wising up to the better value in areas further around the beltway, from Takoma Park around to parts of PG county. All that being said, I do think the announcement of American Legion bridge improvements today will help southern Montgomery County a bit in the future (and help Nova too). [/quote]
