Congrats! I currently live in the Washington DC area, where I have lived for my whole life (29 years+) and I'm relocating to Dover, Delaware in January for my wifes job. I'm pretty excited because most townhouses, let alone single family homes in my county are $500k or more and they aren't new either. I live in a 2 bedroom 2 bath condo worth around $250k. The foundation just got put in for the new house I'm building in Dover, DE. 5 bedrooms, 3 1/2 baths, 2 car garage, 1/4 acre lot and lots of upgrades. Building a house like this would cost 800k to 1 million depending on what area you want to be in near me. It's crazy what people will pay to live near a major city. It's pretty exciting for us and the dogs finally have a yard to play in. Good luck with the move!
