I like those houses but I can't stand they filled in the garage... always looks trashy.

The available properties in good school districts are so flawed as to be unsellable in the future. The anticipated price decrease has not materialized as we are in a deflationary spiral due to low inventory.

No one owes me a place to live. I just don't like my choices.


Exactly. Same in every way. And at my age, I’m not willing to be in a starter home.


So many trolls in this thread.



Whats trolling about this? Tear downs in PP’s location choice are more than 600k. She might get an old condo but that’s it.


So go to the next town over... this isn't a problem. Or live in a housing type appropriate for the location. It's like complaining that a SFH on the Upper West Side is expensive... therefore... there's an affordability problem. There's no problem here.


Next town over. You mean like Leesburg?

OP doesn’t need to commute to DC, so she needs to decide what’s more important to her, space and a reasonably updated SFH house, or living close in. The schools are a red herring because she can find good school pyramids outside of Fairfax.

I did too! We lived on Hiddenbrook and my parents bought it when it was new construction. I have many happy memories of summer swim team and riding my bike everywhere.

The lake is awesome, you are walking distance to the school (ms and hs at least), not far from library, stores, other stuff. This is 3 br vs 4 but def under $600k. https://redf.in/MMIwRn


We asked about this townhome. It is a full gut job, only for sale as cash or construction loan, per realtor.

Unsellable? Yet every one of those properties will sell.


To people with so much money they will tear it down and build a new, bigger house for $3 million. Or to builders who will do the same.



So they aren't unsellable?



I should have specified that I was a DP. I agree they’re sellable- just not to anyone who would want to live in them.
