No. We chose to live in a nicer area. But I'm glad you seem to enjoy it *winks*

What’s moving fast? I’ve been watching the market in this range in N Arlington and a ton is sitting (languishing even).

Separately if you can’t get a bridge loan for that amount, $3M is probably too aggressive for your existing NW / HHI.

Chevy Chase is a dump tho.

This is exactly the reason. As long as the stock market is doing well, prices will keep going up. The same story is playing out in Bethesda and Chevy Chase. With that said, January brings out the craziest buyers so you need to be patient and not go into the home-buying process acting with false urgency. Agents often egg you on to overbid and buy something as quickly as possible so that they can get their commission, but that might not be the best move for you.

I know it’s a pain to move twice, but if you can’t get a large bridge loan, move into a temp rental-> sell your home-> then buy.
