Nice call. It is fun to read these threads. It’s like the Twilight Zone episode where a group of old people say that playing “kick the can will make them young again”. But one old one tells them their full of it...you probably know the rest.

It was an easy call then and even easier in retrospect. But one thing I didn't factor in was the huge growth in the Federal Govt. That has kept prices pretty firm the closer to DC that you get. Further than 20 miles out it has been rough with 550-600k houses selling for 350 (bank sale). Go even farther, 60+ miles where I live, and the market is dead except for 150k or less. 100k houses are selling like gangbusters, 300k and up are just sitting doing nothing.

I should go look for an old gold thread since we know the price will never go over $550.
