Cheap Houses For Sale

De BISAWiki

We found cheap homes for sale all around the country. My wife Ana and I were on a seven-week drive around the country. It had been a vacation, but we looked at houses also, and bought one in an excellent little town in the hills of western Montana. It cost $17,500, and after it to be fixed by $2000 up, we lived there for almost a year before attempting to sell it for $28,000.

We loved Anaconda. Where else can you fly fish, go to a three-dollar film in a old art-deco theatre (the 5th most beautiful in the country, according to the Smithsonian), fall some nickles in a video slot, eat at a good restaurant, stop by the bar for a money beer, and buy a house for under $30,000 - all within a four block area! You will find great schools and churches, a library with rapid internet service, and wildlife (including bears) a couple of hundred yards from downtown.

Why Are There Cheap Homes For Sale?

There are cheap homes in Anaconda, and regional Butte since there are not many good jobs. I quickly found jobs in Anaconda - but not good people. This explains why people left the region in the 80's, following the mines and smelters shut.

Thirteen % of the "housing units" in Anaconda are bare, based on the 2000 U.S. census. This has driven down your home prices substantially. Because it still has all of the basic ammenities, is cleaner now, and is slowly recovering, it is a fantastic spot to retire to or to move to when you yourself have an internet or other non-location-based business.

A poor local economy is the reason you can get cheap homes in many areas of the country. These are villages which have seen troubled moments, but are usually recovering, sometimes with good reasons. Anaconda, for example, now has, along with it's lovely mountain scenery, a resort and a Jack Nicholas golf course. Homes cost four times as much an hour in just about any way, and those costs are bound to achieve Anaconda sooner or later.

Low priced Homes That you don't Wish To Get

You will find areas just like the one in South Dakota day where we stopped for lunch one. A bulletin board had advertisements for inexpensive homes for sale by desperate people trying never to function as last to leave town. There clearly was a photo of a beautiful old five-bedroom farmhouse for $11,000. We looked up the empty road and noticed that all of the houses were boarded-up, as we ate. This was a dying town, with nothing to help revive it. A free house would not be described as a good enough reason to maneuver here.

Cheap House On The Market - Our Requirements

There are many great cities, from Florida to Oregon, where there are cheap homes on the market. After our Montana knowledge, we started a web site about them. So that you can make our number what does a city need? The requirements are very subjective, but include at the very least the following:

1. Citizenry of 4,000 to 80,000.

2. Decent collection. Dig up more on our favorite partner encyclopedia by clicking enstep.com.

3. Great grocery store.

4. Cinema.

5. At the very least six houses on the market under $50,000.

6. The city has a great "feel" to it.

After much study, we found a number of our criteria that were met by towns, including some with domiciles at under $30,000. There are really good cities out there where you can find inexpensive houses on the market.
