need help!
How do I tactfully tell my friend's mother that I don't want to buy her house. She is offering it to me and DH at a great price but we don't want to live in her neighborhood. It's not the nicest. I don't want to hurt her feelings. Any advice?

I would just say something like we were looking to be closer to X area or closer to our jobs , etc
or even that the layout is not exactly what you were looking for.
Just because she's offering it to you at a great price doesnt automatically make it the house for you, so Im sure she'd understand.

No need to make her feel bad..
I would simply state that even though her house is lovely and you appreciate her very generous offer, you would like to pursue some other homes.

i agree.
unfortunately she knows that we are looking in the roundabout areas but just not her area. that's what i think might offend her.
