I understand what you mean. If someone is willing to pay a price for something, then it must be worth that. I believe that the value of the housing market will tumble back down. The way I feel is that if my house shot up to 450k from 300k, but falls right back down to 300k, it wasn't really worth 450k. To someone it was, but those prices were hyper inflated for a short period of time. I would just hope my taxes reflect my lower home value when it falls back down.

That comment isn't accurate. Ive been looking at everything under 550 and Ive seen plenty of places that are super rough in Middlesex country that are 500-550 where there are like 30 people at the open house and it goes way over asking in a day. Id be happy to buy a house that needs some elbow grease to make nice but the options out there are like buy something under 600k that has major structural flaws you can't afford to repair or move out west and have a 2 hour commute or just continue getting outbid by contractors and investors who will either tear down or flip these places because they actually have the cash

You apply for all household members on the same application. You can apply up to 60 days before you move, once you get an address. And you update your application as changes occur during the year, such as changes in immigration status.

I have tells for bad snow drivers, not so much nicknames, though I use them as nicknames something:

Florida plates or Green plates = Old drivers, avoid during snow travel.

No headlights = it's law that you have to have lights on in bad weather here in Mass, but people still don't and it's not really enforced. So, when people do it, you know they aren't thinking of other drivers on the road and being visible to them.
