As for the schools I will always defer to the published test scores and/or local expertise. As for appreciation potential I don’t believe there is a huge difference. The values will ebb and flow with the overall market.
With regards to commute we all have our own thoughts. I am not in love with long commutes but if a commute is reasonable then I am okay making a trade off for somewhere I really love.
That is all personal preference. Please don’t consider it advice in any way shape or form.
As for inventory it seems to that there is a tad less quality inventory and sellers definitely came out with the entitlement guns blazing this spring. In several cases, many buyers bit.
