So we found this house.... it's pretty, it's very large, it's in move-in shape (though it could stand a few fiddly things like water-seal on the deck, and we would need to make sure the house inspector isn't seeing things we're missing). The catch is, it's in Framingham.

jducoeur posted in his journal that we are dithering. Unfortunately, it seems that most of the comments seem to be non-supportive of our moving out there. Waaaah!

I readily admit, we would already have earnest money on this house if it were closer in. No question, if it were in Waltham, or Watertown, we'd be all over it. (Though in Waltham, I think it would be in the upper 7s or low 8s in price.) Would our friends really not come to Framingham? Don't they already not visit us, and if so, does it matter if they still don't? We want to entertain - will we be refused?

More dither.

mm, i have to agree with goldsquare (yes, pigs are flying)... while lots of folks, me included, said lots of stuff about th4e framingham location, we are just being selfish about it. give time, people adjust to the novel idea that htings change, and people move. it's not liek noone will ever speak to you because you moved outside the 128.

plus, yeah. really it's the cats, not the distance...

now, does this nifty hosue have a nice kitchen? :)

Hey, you should get used to viiting people in Framingham anyhow.

Ooooh, yeah. Ten zillion drawers to put things in, Jenn-Air range on the island, good counter space, a dozen outlets, generally large. And abutting the living room on the corner, so that parties can slop between the kitchen and living room without breaking into two separate parties.

The kitchen was actually what grabbed me first. (The infinitely large basement came much later...)
