Lucky for Dorothy, she had a cute 3-bedroom 2-bath house with a picket fence on an 8-acre farm in Kansas to think about when she uttered the famous words “there’s no place like home.” If she were living in an apartment with Auntie Em, Uncle whatever-his-name-was, Toto and the rest of the farm animals, I’m sure her memories of the place would be a little less sweet.
We’re eager to say ‘goodbye’ to renting and say ‘hello’ to a house of our own in Massachusetts. As a result, we’ve spent a good chunk of time surfing the web to see what is on the market. In order of preference, here is a list of some helpful real estate websites that I’ve encountered thus far in our search:
-
Trulia.com (great design, search features and selection)
-
Realtor.com (similar features to Trulia.com)
-
ISoldMyHouse.com (“For Sale By Owner” listings)
-
Zillow.com (also, very similar to Trulia.com)
-
MLSHomeFinder.com (MA-specific site)
-
Boston.com (website of The Boston Globe)
-
HomesForSaleInMA.com (another MA-specific site)
Drop us a comment if you have any other sites to recommend or even if you just have some tips for first-time home buyers in Massachusetts!
Props to Motley Crew, of course, for the Home Sweet Home video.
