Do you understand that most of us didn't buy these as our first homes?

Many of us bought condos/townhomes first and traded up.

Bought for $435K (owe 0 because we sold previous properties and paid cash for fixer upper)
Built: 1940

Zip: 22308
Worth: $675

We intend to stay put and add another level upstairs - would increase our home value A LOT.

And for those who are depressed by this thread - don't be. When we bought in 2002 our elderly neighbor told us we overpaid, it was a bubble, we'd lose money, etc., etc. He was wrong. A good location with good schools will always have value.


Nothing like a know it all that knows nothing. You would think people would be grateful for their timing. (I'm talking about the busy body neighbor you mention, PP.)
