  1. Northern Virginia is at least twice as expensive as the figures you're showing. Rents are 2 grand a month, townhouses, even older ones are 270K. Most houses are starting at around 500K for the smaller ones. I moved closer to central Virginia and in 2021 I got into a 50 year old townhouse for 188K, and now if it was on the market it'd be 230K.

  2.  @lawrencemccauley6062  Some of the dirty realtors do, they insist on throwing in a bid higher than they should.

  3.  @RetirementLifeUSA  It still is the best investment. Nothing else really comes close, considering risks. I feel a little bad for people that are wanting to buy a house and can't get approved for the one they want. Can't make a crazy high income just to become a homeowner. Well they just need a starter home but even that might not be attainable. These prices need to come down though - not increase.

  4.  @CB-bl7be  Number one what? I think for highest median incomes that can be correct. Many are government workers, contractors, and I would bet others could be business owners. Myself I'm way down in Frdericksburg and mostly retired.

  5. This looks like one of the most affordable (for retirees) in the USA.

  6. It's 30 plus years later and it may have changed some. It sounds like a silly grudge to me but I didn't go through it so.

  7.  @Buchyvon1  I always get a realtor / agent that's so-so for some reason. And the house I could afford was around 200K. In middle Virginia it's a townhouse. The agent had aged up, I could see she would retire soon. Still I went for the deal, and she couldn't even make it to closing. Just me there!!! This is what Veteran's United (Lender) gave me for an agent. Then she calls me and says would I please rate her at 5 stars!!! I knew there was something medically wrong with her, so I said yes.

  8.  @Buchyvon1  There's a lot of stuff going on that shouldn't be, and that's why some new laws were implemented.

  9.  @RetirementLifeUSA  If I ever retire there, okay - sounds good.

  11. I'll bet in Florida it definitely is. I'd never buy in those shore areas. And the victims of Helene never saw it coming, and that's way inland except for rivers and some have dams.
