UrbanTurf Reader Asks: What Are the Best Investment Potential Calculators?: Figure 1

In this week’s installment of UrbanTurf Reader Asks, a couple who is entertaining the idea of selling their Cleveland Park condo and moving to Chevy Chase or Silver Spring wonders if there are any resources or calculators out there that will help them make the best investment decision.

My husband and I own a one-bedroom condo almost on top of the Metro in Cleveland Park, but are looking to buy a house. We can either keep the condo, rent it and buy in Silver Spring or sell the condo and buy in DC around Chevy Chase or Tenleytown. A good school district is one of our requirements.

To figure out the best investment strategy, we've done some calculations with spreadsheets, but there are many x factors, starting with how home prices are projected to grow in Chevy Chase vs. Silver Spring vs Cleveland Park, how these differ for single homes vs. condos, etc.

Are there any resources and/or calculators that could help us make the most educated decision possible?
