Mass is stuck...Follow

with me for the winter. Unfortunately with such a slow market and an insane amount of houses up for sale, our contract has finished and we are here for awhile. Sorry Tare. looks like we're going to have to postpone our plans of coffee and chatting a bit longer than I had hoped.
Good news is the anxiety of dealing with the uncertainty is done and we're already moving on, getting ready for DSD demon #2 to arrive in 2 1/2 months and getting the house cozy for the winter. Vacations and getaways are being planned, and Im actually looking forward to everything now that I know whats going on. While this winter is going to suck monkey balls with the combo of newborn/subzero temps and SAD, family is prepped for an exhausted mom, and emergency escape routes have been designated.

We're going to keep an eye on the market and look to see if its feasible to put it back up come mid Feb, but until then, Massholes look out! You're native DSD is here for a little while yet!

Edited because Alla hates Massholes

Isn't that redundant, a la "NT Technology"?

Well I didnt think lil angel would work so well with my handle

Just curious, how much do new homes cost there? Prices here are so ridiculous that everyone is selling. Selling price on our place is 120K more than what we bought it for 3 years ago. I want to live in a house eventually but with the low prices being mid 600K, that doesn't seem likely at the rate the market is going.

I've honest-to-god seen "Personal PIN Number"

I grow tired of UPC code personally.

ya i live an hour from boston too, and i've seen houses on sale for months with no buyers. i'm actually looking to buy, but i hope once the spring hits that prices will really drop. seems like interest rates are climbing but prices arent quite falling yet.

oh yeah this is the asylum people are just sooooo hardcore

We're about 40 minutes south of Boston, near the RI border and in the 4 years since we bought our house, its value has more than doubled. The problem is, we couldn't sell it in the glutted market even if we wanted to.

There are so many houses for sale now that a real estate agent friend of mine is actually turning sellers down right now.

A co worker of mine is looking to buy a house in the metro west area and people are actually making ridiculous offers to try and get them to buy, she actually showed us a flyer from this one property that promised if you buy the house, the current owners would pre-pay ChemLawn, a landscaper and the alarm company for one year for you as a buying incentive.

Only if you are volunteering on carrying a heater right next to me whereever we go.



Sorry about the house, DSD. Sucks that you have to handle a newborn in crazy-cold temperatures.

Thanks Exo. On a good note though, oil prices are dropping so I can actually keep the house at a decent temp this winter without going broke.

On an unrelated topic, I had to go do my glucose test yesterday ( you drink some orange soda medicine thing and they test your blood for pregnancy diabetes) and while I was there I saw my neighbor who does ultrasounds. For the fun of it she whipped me in her room and gave me another free ultrsound. This lil one is already a whopping 2lb 7oz!!! (average weight is normally just 2lbs.) I havent gained a lot at all this time around (I look the same except I have a tummy) so its all baby.

Man it needs to be December
