The median cost for a house in Massachusetts dropped last month to a LOW of $305,000.  For kicks and giggles, I wanted to see what I could buy with this money in the other places I have lived: Columbus, OH, Washington, DC, and South Jersey.

This is what I can get in Boston. 365 square feet in the best place in America. Extra tasty crispy.

If you’re wondering whether or not you should rent or buy, check out this sweet calculator that my dad sent to me. According to that, Matty and I are still saving money by renting (from the landlord who doesn’t cash our checks) and will be for the next 6 years. Besides, with what I’m paying to spay my dog I’d never have cash to replace the water heater.
