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.
