for the price. 399k in the Boston suburbs gets you a 1920 1500 sq/ft cape that needs probably another 50k to update some of it.

I was thinking DC #1, but when OP said "greater area" it threw me.

No. Virginia and Maryland realty prices are way high

Yeah, but West Virginia isn't, right?

it's weird to me that WV would be considered part of the DC area but I do know

Denver real estate is crazy expensive right now.

Strange because I was doing a Realtor.com search a couple of weeks ago there and

I bought in Denver at the exact right time. My equity has shot through the roof.

I threw it in because that's what how the data lists it.

RdF3

10/13/15 3:23pm

This data is highly dependent on location

donnerstag

10/13/15 3:32pm

Yeah, that's why I put it down the list

That is definitely true. Part of denvers price is due to bigger newer homes.

If you lump in WV to DC, you're (or the data accumulator is) doing it wrong

if it is included, it may only include the areas people are commuting from

West of Fairfax county should not be considered part of DC real estate market

I'd go farther than that. Loudoun county exists because of DC
