My lil' ol 2 BDRM, 1 Bath, 1,000 sq.ft. bungalow with half-finished basement cost us 64K when we bought it. I finished off the upstairs into one large bedroom, split in two by a doorway w/out a door. I'd hope to get 100K when we go to sell. My dad's 3800 Sq.ft. home he built in Plano, TX, probably cost around $300-$400K!
Edit: I have a 1-car garage but it is full of kids toys!

Congrats!, we might be neighbors in the near future,, I have my eye set on a new project in Leesburg.(Potomia)
BTW: I'll say the average price of a 1 or 2 car garage townhome (1600 - 2200 sqf) in NOVA is around 400K-450K. Add 50k if it's in a nice location.

Spiff,
If you are talking Vancouver, B.C. the real estate market is going crazy! Condos in downtown Vancouver sell out years before they are even built. A friend of mine purchased a condo (2 br, 2 bathroom) that is around 1500 sq. ft. on a pre-sale 5 years ago for $375,000 cdn. This unit is on the 14th floor overlooking Stanley Park and the north shore mountains. He could sell this condo right now for $875,000! The real estate experts are predicting the downtown condo market to reach New York prices in the next decade.

When I looked at the satellite close-up of our house, and neighborhood...........it shows our location out in the middle of a huge, dirt field!

How are you all getting pictures to upload? I've tried pasting a couple of photos and can't seem to get them to upload for some reason....could it be me doing something wrong? Naw, couldn't be that.

It all depends how far from DC you go. Of course you can find a good 3 Bedroom 2 bathroom TH for around 350K in places like Woodbridge, Leesburg or Centerville, or Manassas, however that is only if you work locally and don't have to commute daily to DC (like my wife does). If you live in Woodbridge for example, you need to live home at around 5:30 to be in DC at 9. Same TH close to where I live now (Bailey's Xroads) cost for 500K.

I found when I tried to upload a larger photo it would try but not make it up there. They may have a size limit that they are not telling us. Try downsizing or degrading the pic a bit and see if it works.
