Curious, what towns are you looking in and what prices are you seeing? We're about to go through that process too (similar income situation), and were thinking we could afford to live within 5-10 miles (e.g. Medford, Malden, Waltham, Allston/Brighton). Not possible?

We bought a 4 bed in Medford (10 min walk to Davis) in February 2015 for 765k. Later in the spring, we sold our previous 3 bed in Wakefield (10 min walk to commuter rail) for 465k.

Prices are reasonable, but houses sell quick. Both the house we bought and the house we sold had multiple offers the Monday after the first open house weekend.
