Is this even true? When I go to Zillow and search the percentage of homes that can be purchased at a certain price I get:

With 500.000 purchase price: 2007 (Georgetown) 22 percent, 20015 (CCDC) 8 percent - the condo effect.

But for 1 million purchase price: Georgetown 60 percent, CCDC 65 percent

For 1.5 million: Georgetown 80 percent, CCDC 96 percent

For 2 million: Georgetown 89 percent, CCDC 99 percent



Go

I only know that I could not have bought my hosue in CCDC in Georgetown, not even for twice the price.

They are such a proportionally smaller share of the total number of housing units in the neighborhood, though. There are like 4-5 buildings total in CCDC. The vast majority of the hood is streets and streets of mid size single family homes.

Prices are diluted in places like Gtown and even Woodley because of the vast number of smaller units. Duh! If you compared "affordability" of single family homes only (ESPECIALLY of equal square footage!), those other neighborhoods would definitely be more expensive.

Hey Dipshit--Georgetown is diluted by the vastly different neighborhoods included with it.

1) Zillow is not terribly reliable
2) Figures are skewed because of apartment availability, most likely.

From Zillow. The toe shoe crowd are driving up housing prices.
