Is buying a newly built townhouse in Sudbury (1850 Sq ft and by Pulte) for 750k + worth it? I am unable to get over how expensive it is, for the boring location and the size

Sudbury also has high property tax rates, so for a 750K home you will be paying close to $15,000 in property taxes alone every year

Pulte will charge you somewhere around $400-$500 in HOA fees every month.

You put together everything and it’s just going to be really expensive

Sudbury is far away from everything, the city of Boston & Airport, it’s not even a suburb it’s an exurb

Only consolation is that the commuter from Lincoln directly feeds into the red line at Porter square and hence reduces transit time

Sudbury is so pretty and bucolic

If I see one more article on how millennials are ruining the economy or housing market by not buying enough homes or selling enough homes I'm going to scream. We were saving for 3 years before Covid and had to use a solid chunk to take care of ourselves and our families during quarantine. Now that we're ready to save again inflation and COL are at an all-time high and we're headed into a recession. And somehow this is my fault for what...not being a boomer? Bffr.
