With current rates, even with good credit and a 20% down on 1.3 mill - that monthly payment is around 10k/ month not even factoring in utilities. Even with a fantastic job - 10k a month is a LOT - and the pool of people with that kind of monthly nut is smaller - then factor in uncertainty. Yeah ….

Homes in RM cluster are not mcmansions.

Sellers are still pricing like it’s spring 2024. We bought in Rockville last year and homes are certainly not flying off the market this year. Seeing a lot of price drops too.

Some sellers think they can match the highest local comp, even if they don’t have the same condition property.

This x 2000

I would not pay that kind of money to be zoned for RM. sorry, but no way.


Houses are selling for 1mill plus in my much older RM neighborhood. I did not even click to see the interior but the houses are so close together...unappealing to me.

haha.. me, too, but some people don't want a big lot with a big yard to take care of. I moved from CA where houses were so close together. I swore I would not buy a house again that was that close to my neighbor. I could hear them having s3x. That's how close it was.

Houses in my RM neighborhood are going for between $1mil to $1.2 mil.

Also FG will end up at Crown HS, which may not be a problem. I think Crown HS will be nice.
