Some 'rural' properties may qualify for USDA housing loans which had better perks. My mortgage company hadn't even considered that.

We are looking mainly in the Worcester area of MA and it's not considered "rural" at all. I'll look into that though, thanks for this!

It depends on things like having a well and septic system vs town water and sewer. I think population and agriculture in the town might have something to do with it but not positive. My property qualified but other properties in my town might not have. Properties in towns surrounding Worcester might qualify.

You're right, and we might have to expand our search since the prices are crazy high.
