Answer 1

Hi, I'm not a Realtor but my husband and I are looking for a house in the Boston area right now. We can't afford anything closer to the city than around the Natick/Framingham area. Even with the drop in housing prices, expect your average 3 bedroom, 2 bath house here to cost around 400K, it only goes up from there. Taxes are really steep, between 3,000 and 4,500 a year so that adds about $300 or more to your monthly mortgage payment. Of course condos and townhouses are cheaper. In the Boston area it's more a matter of what you can afford than how the towns are doing. Towns here either are super wealthy or not great at all, there are few towns I've found since I moved here two years ago that seem like they are middle range. Look north and west of Boston to towns like Natick, Medford, Salem, etc.

Answer 2

What Barney Frank dots? The housing bubble (and that is next bursting) can not be attributed to Frank, a congressman interior the minority Democratic social gathering, for the duration of the time that Republicans controlled the White homestead and the Congress and have been boasting related to the "booming Bush financial equipment." Edit: the priority on your section is that the voters in his district pay interest to the truly information and to no longer the con propaganda spin that blames each and each of the ills of the worldwide on Barney Frank. Why can no longer Republicans ever take duty for his or her very own strikes? They communicate very plenty approximately "very own duty" yet they constantly blame the Democrats, no remember how ludicrous those assertions are.
