The 385k house is the lowest priced house someone could find...

She is right. If my friend could buy a nice house in Duxbury for 700k then she would have, instead she chose Marshfield.

I didn't cherrypick that 385k house. It just happened to be posted here...and I commented.

msRB posted a McMansion in Duxbury for 920k in 2019...and that was cherrypicked (for high price). Your friend could have easily found a very nice large house in Duxbury in 2019 in the 700-800k range that you mentioned earlier. She likely chose Marshfield because she got more bang for the buck.

Also, what people seem to be missing is that the (2019) 385k Duxbury house was expanded after the sale.

I didn't search for any particular homes. I searched for homes sold in 2019


There's a reason it's called deluxebury. The place has never been cheap. That 385k home is rare for sure. It's also small, near a main road and and probably looked worse in 2019. It's absurd that it's listed at 835k or whatever but will probably sell for that.

Feel free to send some links to McMansions that sold for 700k in 2019 in Duxbury.

...and you posted the highest priced McMansions that you could find. One was only 920k.

You telling me matrix's friend couldn't find a very nice big house in Duxbury in 2019 in the 700-800k range??

BS she couldn't.

matrix's friend was probably looking for an enormous house for 3-4 families to live there...like he mentioned at the beginning of the thread. And that's likely why she couldn't do Duxbury and had to settle for Marshfield.

matrix is omitting details when saying his friend couldn't find a nice house in Duxbury for 700-800k in 2019.

Nah this friend was a DINK couple at the time. They have two kids now. Zillow only lets me search for the past 36 mo, not sure how to search for 2019.

51 Meetinghouse Road

A 1962-build 4/2.5 2,293 sf colonial on almost an acre with vintage kitchen & baths. 7 foot ceilings. Oil baseboard heat. Transacted for $755k in 2019. Lots of wallpaper. That’s a dumpster in the driveway for 9 months before you move in house.

Pictures here: https://www.compass.com/listing/51-m...4884091932337/
