You could literally build the junk OP posted above for not much more than $1m. Builder profits and land costs are high as are realtor fees.

When the government prints money with abandon (QE4, 2020), it goes looking for a home. Or a house, in this case.

CPI underreports inflation regardless of administration. But house prices and S&P runup tell the story. Money looking for a place to land.

I have so many questions about the first one. Why would you ever put carpet next to a kitchenette? And am I wrong, or would that corrugated-like tile in all the bathrooms be a pain to clean?

50% appreciation over the past five years is pretty common for SFHs in Bethesda.

I think for that price you should at least have top notch landscaping.
