cogitate

00These days there is a wide choice of housing. 01b00Therefore one must cogitate about all the circumstances before purchasing an accommodation.02b02br

0I'd just like to add to Annvan's suggestion: In American English, we would not say "purcahse an accomdation" to mean "buy a house." 02br
02br
00I associated "accomodations" with when you are travelling, or even staying for a longer time somewhere, but not your "home." 02br
