Starting the ol' house searching.

Starting to peek into the housing market, but still far from jumping. We need to be within 45 minutes or so of Christian Science Center in Boston, MA, to cut down on my husband's commute, but within an hour of Maynard, MA to keep my commute relatively unchanged

Hope you find something. Rates are at historic lows, and house prices in many areas still might be falling - although I imagine out by Boston the prices are considerably higher than here.

Low rates are nice, but usually just inflate the price of the home based on the easier availability of money. I am taking my income and multiplying it by 2-3 and subtracting any outstanding debt to see if I can afford a place. Not much desirable houses at that rate around here!
