I remember when they had this drink called Sparks. I drank a six pack of it and I blacked out. I remember waking up in my house and not sure how I got there, so I actually called my friend to find out what the fuck happened. And I could hold my liquor so that whole experience freaked me out. So after that no way to any of that. And when four loco came out I was just like no already been through this.

250K and safe. You must choose one of these things or you will be disappointed. Western mass has more options and I like the vibe better personally. More rural/cozy towns out there.

It MIGHT be possible in western Ma but it’ll either need to be a smaller house or a real fixer. I have no specific recommendations as that budget eliminates the towns with the better school systems. When you’re serious I’d recommend finding a realtor in Western Ma and having them find what might be in your budget and going from there.

You "might" still be able to find something outside of 495. Maybe. Hell. there's not much for under 350k where I am in Fitchburg. And people will tell you it's not the place to be raising a family. (Even though we did and had no issues.) The surrounding towns/cities are even more expensive. And down around my home town on the South Shore, closer to Boston? HA! Forget about it unless you have 700k

My neighbor paid $233,000 for his one bedroom/bathroom 619 SQ Ft "house" in 2020, really it is an old summer cottage from the 70's. According to most websites it's now worth $303,000. We live in the South Shore area. Just trying to give you an idea of what the market is like in Mass right now.

I don't think you are going to get any where for that budget. You may want to look at condo's but even that is still too low.

You can go on Zillow and put in the price range, area you are looking for (though I would include the whole state as a search area) and see what comes up. That will give you an idea of what is available and where.

Thanks for those all who chimed in. The seller is actually Discount Tire on eBay. I have ordered from them in the past.

I just never dropped shipped to a shop before. And now eBay also offer where you pay to mount and balance ahead of time. It’s an option they offer now on eBay for $100 fee for mount and balance.
