I've found that a lot of people live out there seem to stop coming into Boston.
Yep, that's a concern. For a number of reasons, I don't think that's too likely to happen to us, but it's something for us to think about. We have much more *control* over our own habits than other people's, though, so it's a bit easier to ponder. (The effect on our morning commute is another issue we're thinking about carefully.)
and it's better than mulling it over for a week and then discovering its under agreement.
Good point, but we've got a day or so while we're getting our ducks in a row for an offer. (Getting mortgage pre-approval, figuring the comparables and the like.) So that's our mulling time. And if it gets snatched out from under us in that relatively brief window, then it wasn't meant to be.
Like I said, so many things could go wrong in this process that I'm trying not to get *too* attached...
