I'm dying here!
So, there's this townhome around the block from our apartment that I kind of like - not the nicest in the little block, but the neighborhood is cute, and it's in a great location. We're only in the very early stages of looking to buy (earliest would be next summer, but we probably really have to wait a year after that).
However, with the market dropping, my interest is being piqued...
But, I digress. I found a virtual tour of the townhome online... and oh my. While the place looks like it's in decent shape, it likely hasn't been redeorated since about 1985.
Pay special attention to the basement bathroom - it's a gem.
Ahh, gorgeousness

Re: I'm dying here!
Is that really the price? Seems even higher than the prices here in NY! I thought VA was cheaper.
Some of the rooms look great... others... definetly need the work!!

Re: I'm dying here!
the place doesn't look bad. I would take off wallpaper and paint but still in good shape.

It was originally $442 They just lowered the price.
It looks like it's in good enough shape, I'd just want to paint, tear off the wall paper, and probably get some new carpeting.
The dog boarder was horrible though!

Re: I'm dying here!
This whole area is insane. They just did a list of the 10 richest counties... and 5 of them are around the DC area (#1 being right next to the county i'm in, and #2 being the county I'm in).
Where that wealth is, I'm not sure, cuz it certainly isn't in my pocket!
The thing with down here is, there isn't really any area that I know of where you can find a single family home for less than $500K
most are $600k+... though the market is dropping.
