[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Probably not a popular opinion, but I really do think these prices are going to stick. Inventory in this area is exceptionally low and demand has always been strong. The difference now is that the people shopping for SFHs aren’t just the people who always wanted to live in the suburbs. Now you have all the formerly happy urban condo dwellers who have decided that, if they don’t need to commute 5 days a week downtown anymore, they want the space a SFH in the ‘burbs provides. As the pandemic comes to a close, I think there are a lot of people who have realized that they still need to stay close to DC but don’t necessarily need to be downtown or in Arlington anymore. So they are taking their 2 six figure salaries, their extremely low mortgage rates, and their stock market gains and the are shopping in areas that never really had that kind of attention before. As expensive as this area is, many 2-professional families are still paying what is considered an “affordable” monthly payment relative to income. [/quote]' +1 I agree with you 100% To what extent have people observed whether this is impacting the market for townhomes?[/quote]
