Reply to comment by mrkro3434 in For people that bought single family homes in Boston or adjacent suburbs since last summer, how much are you paying per month in mortgage, taxes, insurance? by Bostonosaurus

I haven’t up or downvoted your posts.

I don’t know where you were looking 2 hours from Boston and seeing that. I know the real estate in that area (Boston north) and you can find better homes 2 hours north for less than that

We were looking anywhere north, east or west, of Boston (family is scattered in the area). As far as Keene or southern Maine. Just wanted a modest home that had good internet (I work remotely in media and need the bandwidth).

We put in offer, after offer, over asking for a year, pretty much every weekend, and got nothing. So again, I don't know what to tell you.

We were putting offers on really shit houses listed at $200k, for $250k, knowing that we would bite the bullet in renovations. And still, Someone would either offer more, or just pay in cash. This was every weekend.

North or Worcester east of 190. Think Phillipston. Thats about where your price range is going to take you.
