in decisions based on passion. If you love the house, put in a bid.
While reading this the first thing I thought was "They're going to have a hard time getting rid of it." Because either a) it's not close to Newton, and they're advertising it as close. That5's going to turn off anyone who wants to live in Newton, comes to see the house, and decideds it's not close enough. or b) People read "It's close to Newton" and say "Oh It'll be too expensive." and don't bother.
Do, however, check out the property values before you make an offer. It may be the right price, then the real estate taxes will kill you. Property values are public domain. Plus there are sites (which are escaping me at the moment) that will tell you of recent property sales in the area, and esitamted values, to see if you're getting, the proverbial screw. Real estate taxes could make an impact on your mortgage, if your bank requires an escrow account to pay them.
Whoo, where's all this coming from? And here I thought my brain was tapioca. *grin* Good Luck.
