No, you really don’t have to put down 20 percent
I was just out at brunch this weekend (I know a gay in D.C. at brunch — groundbreaking). Anyway, I was at brunch and naturally the subject of real estate came up and your boy’s ears perked up and as the resident real estate expert at the table, some of the newcomers were making conversation about some open houses they had been to in the past few weekends, some trends they had seen that they hated that developers seem to continually do in the D.C.
area, how unaffordable things are and some comments about where the best areas to invest are in D.C. I just sat and listened while eating my food, which was rather under seasoned, but I digress.
The one comment that came up several times that really got me was the affordability comment and what it was based around. It might very well shock you.
When we speak about affordability in the District we are typically speaking to the price of real estate and how expensive it is to purchase a place here in D.C.
