Cheap Houses For Sale

De BISAWiki

We found cheap houses for sale all around the country. My partner Ana and I were on a drive across the country. It was a secondary, but we looked over houses also, and ordered one-in an excellent little town in the hills of western Montana. It cost $17,500, and after $2000 to correct it up, we lived there for many months before trying to sell it for $28,000.

We loved Anaconda. Where else is it possible to fly fish, go to a three-dollar movie in a old art-deco theatre (the fifth most beautiful in the country, based on the Smithsonian), drop some nickles in a slot machine, eat at a fine restaurant, stop by the bar for a money beer, and buy a home for under $30,000 - all within a four-block area! You'll find great schools and churches, a library with rapid internet service, and wildlife (including bears) a hundred or so yards from downtown.

Why Are There Cheap Houses For Sale?

There are low priced houses in Anaconda, and nearby Butte since there aren't many good jobs. I easily found careers in Anaconda - although not great people. This explains why people left the area inside the 80's, following the mines and smelters shut.

Thirteen % of the "housing units" in Anaconda are empty, based on the 2,000 U.S. census. It has driven down the house prices substantially. Since it still has all the fundamental ammenities, is cleaner now, and is slowly recovering, it is a terrific place to retire to or to move to if you have an internet or other non-location-based business.

An unhealthy regional economy is the reason you can purchase inexpensive homes in many parts of the nation. These are villages that have seen troubled times, but are usually recovering, sometimes with good reasons. I found out about garden shed designs by searching webpages. Anaconda, for instance, now has, as well as it's a Jack Nicholas golf course and beautiful mountain scenery, a ski resort. Homes cost four times as much one hour in any direction, and those prices are bound to-reach Anaconda eventually.

Cheap Homes You may not Wish To Buy

You will find towns such as the one in South Dakota where we stopped for lunch one day. A bulletin board had adverts for low priced homes for sale by desperate people trying to not be the last to depart town. There is an image of the wonderful old five-bedroom farmhouse for $11,000. As we ate, we looked up the empty street and realized that all of the buildings were boarded-up. This was a dying village, with nothing to assist restore it. A free of charge house would not be a good enough reason to move here.

Inexpensive Home For Sale - Our Standards

There are many wonderful villages, from Florida to Oregon, where there are low priced houses for sale. After our Montana knowledge, we started a web site about them. In order to make our list what does a city need? The criteria are truly subjective, but include at-least the following:

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

2. Decent library.

3. Good supermarket.

4. Cinema.

5. A minimum of six houses on the market under $50,000.

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

After much research, we found numerous areas that met our requirements, including some with homes at under $30,000. There really are good cities out there where you can find cheap homes available.
