  1. interesting, jackal. Are you still considering staying put? My sense is, OOH — market slow enough in the burbs you don’t have to rush, OTOH — this one is pretty close to exactly what you want. As a dedicated City slicker, if i were making the move, I’d be pretty quick to want to lock in a nice old house with a walk to the train, pretty garden, river views, good schools, and without need of reno (lord knows, I’m not going through THAT again). I would consider getting up there again quickly for another looksee at what’s availble, make a semi-lowball offer on this one that will keep the house in reach but not rush you to a deal, and do your market due diligence quickly. Or string the realtor along withou an offer — “We like the house, it has much of what we are looking for, but we are not convinced it is priced right, so we are going to look around a bit. Let us know if there are any developments.”
