We would like to buy a SF fixer-upper within the boundaries of a very good, but not crazy-expensive,

elementary school - Diamond ES, Darnestown ES, Farmland ES, Travilah ES. Would also take a townhome w/ yard and garage. For, um, $375 - $400K. I know we're reaching, but we've gotta gotta be in a good school. We're coming from Dallas, where our home-buying dollar went a l-o-t farther!

How did your home search go? There are numerous opportunites out there in your price range. If you haven't purchased yet, I suggest that you look for a home in the $425 range and negotiate down. The buyer's are in control and have the advantage of all the hype.

Hi Laura,
Why not really capitalize on the investment and accomplish your goal and find a great community for your family! Check outhttp:// www.TeamAllenHomes.com and search the Hagerstown, MD area. I have lived in the Mont. County area and moved here myself and have never regretted the decision. Definately a great place for families and good quality living!
call if I can help you ,

It is an excellent time to buy and there are plenty of lovely townhomes to choose from in the 375K-400K range with good schools. As far as fixer-upper homes there is plenty to pick from that are in need of repair-provided you have the monies and time to fix them up.
Please visit my website to do searches,enter your criteria etc.My website ishttp:// www.annettesellsmetrohomes.com. When will you coming to Maryland?

FIRST ANSWER
Welcome to Maryland. I lived in Fort Worth, Texas before coming to Maryland. I hope that you will find some consolation in compensating salary differences as well as a host of other features, services, arts, culture, schools that outbalance the additional costs of housing. The home buying dollar is going much further these days. Consider discussing your specific needs with a few agents and select someone as your buyer agent so that a specific plan can be developed for you. My web-site has interview questions you may use during your discussions which should give you a good idea about how the agent thinks about the business and how likely it is that the person will try to help you meet your goals.
