You have a house let me tell you what's really depressing renting an apartment and being unable to find a single family to live in. THAT'S depressing.

The MLS is clear SFHs are out there. You just need to keep your mind open, potentially lower your expectations regarding what/where you can get with your budget, and be ready to pounce.

Holy crap!!! I can't find anything. I've looked at a few states too.

Washington Fine Properties has private listings/coming soon. Check those out they have McLean properties. I don't work for them.

I remember someone posted about this house a year or so ago!

If you needed to do any outside improvements before listing, those were absolutely delayed by all the snow on the ground.

We were getting our house ready to list during that big storm. The contractors actually came out, the day and the second day after, and did carpentry work on the outside of our house. I was shocked that they did it. But they did. Up a damn ladder. Amazing.

I hate that every new house occupies every inch of the lot. It's impossible to find a house with a backyard.

Yes!! We’re going through the same thing - we want to stay in N Arlington and get a bigger house but right now we’ve got a large yard and would have to give that up for a bigger new build. If you mention wanting a usable yard to the local realtors / builders at open houses for the new builds they basically laugh in your face and walk away.

You need the stock market to crash. DOGE was incredibly ineffective and barely any employees ended up fired. As usual the federal workforce continues to get bigger.
