[QUOTE="Old One, post: 2285803, member: 83"] Rel, Where ya been??? This has popped up a couple of times in various threads (must be old age catchin' up with ya) ;)! The housing market in the Baltimore-DC Metro area, for what we want to get, is crazy-ridiculous. Prices in many areas around here have appreciated 75-100% in the last 3-4 years, effectively pricing us out of the single family home market for the type of properties we are interested in unless we want to spend 600k+. That and my commute to and from N. VA from Baltimore is killing me (I will spend about 23 [u]days[/u] commuting this year...so we need to do something. We have figured out that we can move back to Charlotte, buy a "McMansion" for $275k - $350k in a nice, yuppie master-planned community and then I can commute by air weekly to N. VA and stay with friends to work my day job. Even with weekly flights, airport parking, etc...we will still save ~ $1,000 per month over buying up here...crazy. Anyway...the spousal unit hasn't been back since we left in late-2000...so this whole plan is contigent on her feeling comfortable with the area...hence, the recon mission. Our timing will be largely dependent on, unfortunately, the passing of my father-in-law, who is terminally ill. We are waiting for that situation to resolve before making any concrete moves. Anywho...we could be back down within the next 12-18 months. ~ OO [/QUOTE]
