How much does your commute cost?

I work with a lot of buyers and often they say they want to live out in the burbs. Their reason is not because they like the burbs but because housing is cheaper and they can get more bang for the buck, or so they think. The reality is that money spent driving in and out of the city eats any savings you get from having a house in the burbs. The Washingpost Post had an article yesterday that talks about that: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/10/11/AR2006101101883.html

By the way, the Post had a very good Mega Real Estate section so if you missed it, link here:http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/realestate/features/2006/finding-your-way/index.html

I've got a new listing, this one is in Greenbelt, MD. It's a wonderful condo in the Chelsea Wood complex. It's two bedrooms, 1 bath. The bedrooms are spacious. It's well cared for with new paint and new carpet. The seller is also offering closing help with a full price offer. The list price is $215,000. The address is 8461 Greenbelt Rd. #202. Let me know if you are interested.

I've got a busy day today so let me go get started. Enjoy the rest of your day and remember you can rest when you die.
