Housing Prices is your area

in the Boston suburbs:

$300k will get you a 3 bedroom cape (or ranch) that needs a lot of updating.

Less than .5 acre lot too.

That would be the outer, outer burbs.

[cmh6476 750]

So, I'm considering moving from NoCal.

 

My house is way overpriced, and I would possibly like to sell now and move elsewhere.

Bought house for $265,000 2 years ago, current value is $395, 000 approx.

3 bed, 2 bath 2 car garage w/ RV access on 1/4 acre...

Only 1300 sq. ft.

(go figure, the Sacramento and surroung areas are WAY overpriced for what you get )

 

What would 300k buy in your area?

I would like to have around 2000 sq. ft. , 3 car garage if possible, 1/2 acre?

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Am I being unrealistic?

 

 

you would be living well around here. 5 bdrm easy for $300k

Houston:

 

You can get a 3 bedroom, 2100 sq ft house on a 10,000 sq ft lot less than a mile from a lake for about 160,000. 20 Minutes to downtown.

Zillow is your friend.

Zillow sucks hairy donkey balls.

 

All it does is give you the offical assessed value. WHOOP-DEE-DAMN-DOO!

 

The tax assessed value for my place is almost half what I paid almost four years ago and about three to three and a half times less than market price today.

But can you see the house with all the smog?

 

Texas is starting to sound pretty damn good

I love that they use information from the local tax assessments. Fortunately, mine does not have an addition that I had put on

It's not as bad as it used to be.

Tornados tend to make me a little nervous, though

Tornados are usually worse farther north. Near the coast, it's not bad.

Average temps?

[GobbleDog 816]

I live in Orlando, FL. I bought my crappy assed dinky condo unit for $120,000 about a year ago.

 

After I get married in a couple years, I'll buy a house and I already know that it's probably going to cost..... about $300,000 for a regular middle class single family house.

 

I can't believe the prices. I should move to ho-dunk Alabama or something. For $300 K, I could buy a frikin mansion.

[TheNewGirl 1,028]

Folsom, CA.

 

Houses ranging anywhere from $450K to over a million. Nothing under $450K right now, though.

 

Bought this house in 2003. 1700 sq ft, 3 bed, 2 bath, living room, family room for $289K. Appraised last year (July, I think) for $500K.

[Sho Nuff 719]

300k would buy alot in several areas around nashville.

 

Around the east "suburbs" like Hermitage/Mt. Juliet...300k would get you 4 bedrooms and over 3000 square feet. (in the new Providence subdivision, probably gets you right around 4 bedroom 3000 square feet).

 

Hermitage its about 250-260K to get 4 bedroom 3000 square feet. (just signed a contract to build yesterday )

[DVD 0]

About 1500 sq. feet (brand new) 3 bed, 2.5 bath for $300000 (CDN)

[Brown Eyed Girl 1]

4 bdrm/3 bath house 2 houses down from me sold for $650k last month.

 

Average 3 bdrms/2 bath homes in my area are anywhere between $515 - $625k.

(and so not worth it).

 

Do yourself a favor and don't buy in So-Cal.

(not that you'd even consider it - just my 2cents)

Girlies?

Girlies? Texas Women are gorgous.

Golf courses? All over the freaking place.

Lakes? Once again, all over the place.

Average temps? Hotter than a mexican car stereo.

Girlies? Texas Women are Gorgons.

Golf courses? Gophers all over the freaking place.

Lakes? Urine slightly contaminated with traces of water.

Average temps? Hotter than Shakira's crotch after a night of dancing.

300k would maybe buy you a 750 sq. ft 1bedroom condo on the bad side of town.

 

2 bedroom 2 bath condo's go for about 550-600k here.

 

anything 3 bedroom 2 bath+ detached with a yard (aka a real house not a condo/townhome) is going to run you atleast 700k.

I know. Just thought I'd razz you, since I haven't seen you around much.

Wow, I finally found something good about Western New York. You could buy a focking castle with that kind of money in Rochester or Buffalo. Course, your castle will be buried in snow half the year, but the summers are OK.
