Half and acre? LOL. You better charge less for half an acre, or else throw in a few more Mercedes.
ReplyDeleteAt least it appears to be all brick. I hate seeing these expensive houses with vinyl sides. What a joke.
I knew this was Ashburn before I read it. Every house in the town looks the same.

ReplyDeleteYou're right.
What is the deal with the brick front/ vinyl siding in the DC area?
It seems to me all new construction, or even anything in the last 15 years or more, is brick front with vinyl siding. That's fine, if you want to charge a lot less. But when I was growing up (the 70s), plenty of working class houses were all brick. Nowadays, in Dallas, TX, houses that cost under 200K are all brick. Why are DC-area developers skimping on the brick so much?
It just makes the bubble even sillier in my mind. People are paying $600,000 for huge monstrosities made of plastic or aluminum.
I totally prefer brick then the vinyl siding.

ReplyDelete90% Have you seen any new houses in the DC area that are all brick?
I have not.
They seem to be making all brick houses in Texas (where house prices are 1/3 to 1/4 what they are here), so there are still bricks out there.
I've seen quite a few new homes around here (NOVA) that are all brick.
ReplyDeleteI've found the DC area still seems to have a higher proportion of all brick homes than other areas of the NE. Although it is true that most newer homes are not all brick.
