Wow, you all are incredibly disciplined. We took out a $530K mortgage when we were making $125K.

Ditto here for Annandale just outside the beltway. We spent too much at height of market in (2005-650k with big down payment) but houses like ours now go for 525-600 ish. Great schools, good bus to pentagon, safe, centrally located. We are at 250 now, but only 200 when we bought.

N. Arlington. Bought in 2006 for $590,000. Our house is not fancy by any means, but it is a great neighborhood and so close to D.C.

North Arlington. We spent $800K. We had a sizeable downpayment from the sale of our old house and savings so our mortgage is easily manageable.

Stole this idea from another poster

I'm a SAHM and DH has a steady job with good benefits that pays $250. We don't feel like we can afford anything in nova and rent an apartment. But then again, we are very frugal...maybe people just spend a bigger percentage of this paycheck on housing than we do. So I'd love to hear--what is your HHI, where did you choose to live and what did you spend?
