We almost bought a house even father out. We were about to make an offer and I decided to try the commute - NEWP. It's amazing, it doesn't seem that much farther than our current home but it's in a more congested area that just makes getting places a complete PITA.
Same. We were bummed when TWO houses we loved got pulled off the market/sold, but the commute would have SUCKED and we would have been miserable.
