Some of the accusations on here are really random. Personal attacks for someone you don't know and know practically nothing about? Really? I understand talking about money and houses, but I don't get any other reference. Unless it is out of desperation, of course.

I do not care for the PH house at all as it is cookie-cutter, min-McMansion infill. I was underwhelmed by the interior of the TP house. While it has certain beautiful, high-quality finishes (bathroom, screened porch floor), it also retains many of the standard, neutral aspects and lack of detailing that characterize even the nicer, higher-end, new construction in this area.

Where is the character, the charm, the lovely detailing?

No doubt tysons corner is a big emloyment center. And most of us don't get to choose where our firm locates. But are there people, all things equal, who would really choose tc (or silvrr spring, bethesda) over downtown? So yes, if you're stuck in ttsons corner, ph might be a good place to live.

The PH house is character-free and bland, and made over to appeal to the maximum number of buyers.

The best thing would be to monitor both and compare days on the market when both sell.


#2 sold in a week


The TP house went on the market yesterday.


It's also more expensive than anything that's gone on the market in Pimmit Hills.


Any they will probably drop the price.

If I could afford a big new house, I would. And I wouldn't be trying to attack those who have been successful in their own lives. Everyone I know with a new house has no mortgage, and has made great decisions in their lives. That is part of why they are happy. Try it.

Now you just sound stupid. Not everyone likes new construction or the step ford neighborhoods it is often found in. Lots of people pay 800k and more for old Victorians. They could afford 500k cookie cutter houses, but they don't like them.
Newsflash: everyone is not you, people have different tastes.


The cookie cutter PH new builds are now 950k + not sure where you got 500k from.

No, clearly everyone is just totally jealous of a new build that could be plopped down in any bland subdivision anywhere in the US. She's got us figured out.

The house in Takoma Park was built in 2006. Get a grip.
