OP curious where you live?

Currently renting in Silver Spring. We were planning on buying in spring/summer 2020 and had Hyattsville on our list, then pandemic happened, and I hadn't realized how much the prices had gone up!

Ahh makes sense why you’re questioning the price … yeah things have changed in a year big time.

I just went through some of the recent sales and yowza, I'm clearly behind! I think 700k for that house would be too much for me even if it was in budget, because I'd just be too nervous about a crash, but what PPs said about the lot/location being gorgeous also makes sense. We had been looking on the side of Hyattsville closer to West Hyattsville or PG Plaza because I'd like to be walkable to a metro. Good to know about Brentwood/Edmonston though.

Good. Maybe that will keep prices from going too far out of reach for those of us who need houses to live in instead of seeing them as investments.

I can't help comparing the house in this thread to this one:
https://www.redfin.com/MD/Hyattsville/4219-Nicholson-St-20781/home/10946956

The one on Nicholson is larger and has that actual Sears Craftsman charm going for it, but the one in this thread may be in better condition. I'm going to guess it sells for $725k-$750k.

Hip Happening language by the same realtor. The one on Nicholson was very updated and charming and a better lot

I confess that knowing she’s a dcum poster makes me wonder if she started the thread but who cares, I love the house.

That’s not the same is it? The one in the link is raffia?

But she won’t need DCUM to sell that house.

It’s definitely raffia and I think you can see the staining in the front.

I wouldn’t say that table is “ruined” though. It still looks great. Pp has a great eye though!

Yeah, looks like nice inherited antiques mixed with some cheaper, younger accessories. It's a good eclectic mix.

I think the bed is beautiful but I don’t like the bedspread or the tie dye short curtains.

Back to the house- guessing this belongs to a young couple? Can we talk about that beautiful bed? I like their style.

This is what happened in 2009.

Yawn

Thank you for our Monday morning racism

When the market invetitably cools, PG county will still be one of the only counties with a significant portion of affordable SFH for 1st time homebuyers combined with a reasonable commute to the DC area. The beauty in not overpaying for a house in PG is that when the market does dip or cool, you wont be stuck trying to make a huge profit since you overextended yourself in other areas/dont want to sell for less than you paid. The reason PG specifically had such a hard time in 2009 is due to predatory lending practices and people were overleveraged in their homes.

You might be the only one who thinks that.

Seriously... the majority of people in Del Ray and Alexandria are not working in the local coffee shop. They're commuting into DC.
