I've been through it before, too. I don't think Pax has anything to worry about either, but that's not what I was talking about. Two words: data calls.

Big bummer for those wanting the values of their homes to skyrocket though. 
Even I were to move back to Indiana this year, I was considering renting the place out until after BRAC, and then selling after the prices top out.
If I do move, I may still rent it out for awhile, and ride these 11% - 15% real estate value increases until it drops down to 3% - 5%.

I don't think housing prices go up if a base closes, sleuth.

Yes, but they go up if other bases' operations are moved here,
I'd even heard rumors of moving all of WPAFB operations here, because apparently they do a lot of the same types of training and research that we do at NAS PAX.

If I was on a BRAC, I don't know that I'd shove more work to Pax ... the area is having challenges as it is handling the growth it has and housing the people here ... how would it handle more? :shrug:

I agree... but I'm just passing along what I've heard through the rumor mills.
As you said, there is already a housing shortage. Imagine how much our home values would increase if BRAC brought more workers here.
In Tyson's Corner, townhomes run upwards of $400,000 don't they? Could you imagine a 3 bedroom, 1600 sq. ft. home with no waterview/front going for $400,000???
As a home buyer, it would suck, but for me, I think it would rock.

Never say Never.
It's already closing in on $200K.
I haven't had it appraised, but according to my lender, he said that since it appraised for $160K last year when I bought it, he wouldn't be surprised if it wouldn't appraise for $185K this year. I only paid $145K for it.
