Steel Wheels, you said </font><blockquote><font class="small">In reply to:</font><hr />
I hear the eastern panhandle of West Virginia(Shepherds Town) is a sought after area,a lot of people that live and work in Washington DC want to live out in the country and are willing to commute.

[/ QUOTE ] - hey, I resemble that remark.

Summit Point, where I live, is in the eastern panhandle (along with Shepherds Town, Charles Town, Harpers Ferry and more). We just re-financed and our appraised value has increased 56% in four years - to pretty near the price range you mentioned. I'm pretty sure putting the old couch on the front porch and the washing machine in the front yard with the 8 foot satellite dish is what did it. [img]/forums/images/icons/laugh.gif[/img]
