Eastern MA is too expensive. We bought our house in Worcester for 325k

Yeah western MA is a bit too far for our needs. Nice area though my dad's family live in Springfield and Hamptons.

This. Look west of 495 and it’s a fucking house bonanza. Just bought a 2,800sqft home for under 500k

I didn't realize.... I saw a disaster of a house (had a urinal, not all the drywall had been finished, etc) listed in Shirley for $600k a year or so ago. Mind, I don't know if it sold for that, or if the seller was overly optimistic, but I remember it because fucking Shirley? And $600k wouldn't even get you completed drywall everywhere?

Eh more like west of Worcester. I’m right outside 495 and it’s still a hellscape wherever I look. Can’t go too far west either, I mean… family and work and all the rest aren’t there, I may as well move across the country if I go far enough.
