Cogitate

Hello,

I'm wondering is it possible to say that :

These days there is a wide choice of housing. Therefore one must cogitate about all the circumstances before purchasing an accommodation.

I think it's too formal in some places like "cogitate about", but also too informal (for instance, these days there is). Am I right? Maybe you could give some advices on how to make these two sentences normal (like semi-formal)?

Waiting impatiently for help

I'd just like to add to Annvan's suggestion: In American English, we would not say "purcahse an accomdation" to mean "buy a house."

I associated "accomodations" with when you are travelling, or even staying for a longer time somewhere, but not your "home."

And perhaps you did mean the more general sense of "Where you stay" as opposed to your house. If you did, then please ignore my comments.
