Walkable is your problem. Find some place car dependent in the middle of nowhere.

What's with the 2nd requirement? Seems like that should be an antigoal, living close to gubberment housing.

I know of a family that just bought a 3-2 in in those specs for sub 400k. I think you might want to look in a different region. Also suburban not urban.

1M would be an amazing deal

Yeah that's about the market right now. Some areas seem to be reaching peak, but every time I think that, the news comes out the gov started printing money at a higher rate than before. Suburbia is always in high demand. You get the good parts of living close to resources and infra, less crime and more space. There is a reason there are multiple 12 lane highways that sit in bumper to bumper traffic in and out of every city. "Good schools" is also a really hard one to define. Everyone's values are different. On the east coast, it seems like it's really hard to beat nothern Virginia's education system, public or private programs. In terms of straight best opportunities included. I went to school with a bunch of "gov school" kids who just needed 30-40 credits and could graduate with a BS at 19 years old. But the downside is, with arguably the most funded schools in the US, they also have issues with school boards, gender/sex laws, lots of corruption and theft, the list goes on. So low income, no work ethic because they don't know better. High income, no work ethic because mommy and daddy will let me inherit one of their mansions.

"Good schools" and "walkable" alone puts you into Blue City NIMBY neighborhoods where nothing's been built over 1 story for 100 years... And this is why the price is so high.

Bro I would take the other side of this trade if I were you. Just rent for the next two years or so and stack bitcoin with the down-payment for that said house. When btc doubles in price, you can sell half and keep the rest of btc.... Also, house prices are adjusting nationwide meaning in a couple of years that house will be cheaper while you'll have bitcoin

Or put 2k into microstrategy and wait a few years boom 20k downpayment.

There are no “good schools”. Homeschooling or die trying. Epic villas sub 1M possible on beautiful islands. 🏝️

This is facts
