DC Area Real Estate Outlook
A full section from The Washington Post. Gotta love WaPo with the timely feature. The warm weather is just a few weeks away and there were a mad number of open houses today on my short drive to Old Town Alexandria.
My particular favorite is the guy who wants to buy a condo in the area I live in. I admit, it’s insanely priced around parts of Arlington, but if his ambitions are modest, he could probably buy a place for less than $300K. I think he’s just being stuck up about where he wants to live. The article does not address exactly why he thinks he can’t buy a place in Arlington. I suspect he has some criterion that can only be explained by some weird irrational bias he has about a neighborhood. I won’t even speculate about that, but note that he’s only looking in Clarendon and Ballston.

I’m also a big fan of the WashPost Real Estate section. In case you didn’t know, they also do a weekly Live discussion on Real Estate which can be pretty insightful. Although I bought a place a few years ago, I think it’s good to stay current on the market. Also, thanks so much for the link!

I always forget about the live chats. I’m too busy at work so I try to read the chat transcripts later. Today they had one with Henry Rollins! (WaPo overall, not the RE section.)
