Overpriced real estate...

Having lived and worked in Everett for over 30-years it amazes me how expensive property has become. Searching for investment property recently I have found only a few homes under 200k and they were total dumps that would require many thousands of dollars to be made habitable. Fairly decent housing starts around 300k and something you may be proud to own will be 350k and up. If the prices don't bother you, consider the Ever-gray skies and rain 10+ months out of the year. Plus, you generally face a nasty commute to and from work due to extremely weak transportation planning since about 1965. On the positive side of things, water and air quality are good, crime rate is reasonably low and area employment is stable. If this all sounds like a winning combination, Everett just may be your kind of town....
