My imagination has been fired by the Philadelphia area houses I’ve found online. Part of me wonders, is this really how people live outside NYMetro and Long Island – comfortable houses and reasonable commutes? There seem to be so many real possibilities (unlike the houses we find here) that I’ve started looking at the area’s job postings. I try not to think of the year we lost, when the Gatehouse could have been on the market in better times, because it makes no difference now. This sluggish, downward market is our reality and we’re anchored on LI until the house sells.
