I'm not familiar with any of those street names, but all those places except for Annandale, which is pretty much a foreign country, are considerably farther away from DC than where I live. You couldn't give me one of those houses to make that kind of commute. I'm a little more in the insulated area, walking distance from a new Wegmans and less than a mile from I-66. Location, location, location.

Furthermore, all those prior sales were during the peak. I got my current one in Oct. '04. It was appreciating crazily from the day I closed until a good year or so later. After that, I would never have bought anything in the area other than a foreclosure.
