I missed that part. But also crazy because I bought my house for 250k only 5 years ago. The market has been wild

We live in metrowest ish. Franklin to be specific. Schools are great, taxes low for our area and you can still commute to Boston or Worcester. Also lots of school districts hiring in our surrounding area.

Reply to As of Aug 2022, the median millennial household income was $106,661. People making at or close to the median household income that are buying houses in MA, where are you able to buy? by BoOo0oo0o
Older millennial here….income is right in that range. We bought in Franklin. Schools were good and taxes are low compared to the area. Husband often works in Boston and Worcester. We didn’t buy at the top of our budget though…we bought the cheapest fixer upper we could. We didn’t want to be house poor. We have five kids and only 1900 sq ft but the layout is great. I really really like franklin a lot. Originally from dorchester and husband is from west Roxbury

Don’t get discouraged! You may not find a brand new house but there are plenty of options here. I purchased my house for only 250k it was before Covid and needs some work. Other areas that are very nice and have great schools, Bellingham, medway, Ashland, holliston parts of Framingham.
