Where are the cheapest homes/houses in the nation?

Looking for a home that cost cheaper in one place then the same house would be somewhere else..example 3 bed room home in one state would be alot cheaper then in california...where are the cheapest houses?Where are the cheapest homes/houses in the nation?
There are cheap homes in every market, they are usually in bad shape in bad neigbhorhoods or they are forclosures. Along with cheap housing comes low wages in the region. Where housing is higher, wages are higher.Where are the cheapest homes/houses in the nation?
The Midwest down to Texas will have many locations that are very inexpensive.





If you look at the averages you will see X. If you look for the lowest prices you can find lower. Maybe run down areas or fine areas except there is little in the way of employment.





At some level home prices reflect incomes as most of the time (70%) the value of the home is a function of the mortgage that someone can afford to pay while they live there. That is a broad statement and there are exceptions. Otherwise I suspect you will get the point.





Note that weather can be a factor. Snow birds are people who retire and move to a warmer climate. They are not always rich but many do have equity from the home they sold where they once lived.





Look for places that have had a factory close and you might find a bargain. Also consider parts of the west (Dakota's, Wyoming, etc) as there are communities where they can not really give away the home.





One home we purchased last summer was a 2 bed single family home with garage. It needed work and it was bank owned (REO). The bank was asking $14K and we purchased it for $10K. Another $18K in repairs and it was ready to rent. The value after repairs was $60K
I am buying a house for $11,500 cash: a neglected house in a good neighborhood in Vincennes, IN. (2 bed, 1 bath)





I guarantee it's not a town you really want to move to though
Oklahoma...in 2000 the median home in the US was worth 119,000. However the median home value in Ok was 79,000. Which was the lowest state in the Union.
i think texas


i did a little research a while back and i was trying to answer the same question you have and i couldnt find a cheapest place but where i am at!


3 bedroom house brand new is probably around $170,000


2,000 to 3,000 sq ft
The midwest and southern states, but why would you wanna live there? Theres a reason some places are more exspensive then others, quality of living.

Looking for list on homes/housing that are repossessed and auction off?

I have found that auctions do not usually bring your best deal.


Search properties with low listing prices on real estate sites.


These are usually bank owned(has been foreclosed) and the bank is just trying to get out of it what they have in it. I found a property 3+ acres listed for $25000. I offered the bank $18 for it. They told me that there was another offer, so I raised my offer to 22.5k and got the property.Looking for list on homes/housing that are repossessed and auction off?
Contact a real estate agent. I've been looking for foreclosures in San Diego for the last few months and my real estate agent sends me listings from customized searches for specific types of properties, listed in a specific price range, for short sales and foreclosures in specified zip codes. He can also get lists of auction properties with the same criteria.





My wife's daughter also has a real estate agent sending her listings of short sales and foreclosures, based on specific search criteria.





Real estate agents and brokers generally subscribe to premium listing services that are only available to licensed real estate professionals. In fact, when he sends me a link to the latest listing sheets, it's specifically for a prospective buyer. There is then a companion listing sheet just for the agent/broker that contains more detailed information (like how much is owed to the bank on a foreclosed property). With this kind of information, the agent/broker can call the listing agent and discuss the property, and then advise the prospective buyer of how much of an offer or bid to make for a good chance of picking up the property for as little money as possible.





Sure, you can sign up on one of those foreclosure listing services. But, they give you limited information and, if you want more detailed and background info, you have to contact the real estate office that's providing the listing service. So, you might as well pick your own agent/broker and have them do the leg work for you.

  • My Council Home - Housing Advice! Please help!!!?

    I am currently in a council flat in Barking and in full receipt of housing benefit! I want to move out my area. I have been trying for 7 years this year with bidding and exchange adverts on all websites etc and had no luck.





    Was wondering if i was to give up my council property how soon could i go private renting and the housing benefit would pay for me to private rent??





    Would appriciate any help.My Council Home - Housing Advice! Please help!!!?
    Yes you could - BUT make sure your new LL takes Housing Benefit claimants for starters as you will have to provide a signed Tenancy Agreement to get the Council to pay the rent. And it will take around 6 weeks to get sorted.My Council Home - Housing Advice! Please help!!!?
    you can always do council swaps, advertise and its a mutual exchange between you both (with relevant paperwork e.c.t). if you are wanting to go private, council will only pay what they think the place is worth half the time. They come out on visits and check out the place and can take wks for the crossover in financies.
    couldnt you get a council rent in a different area?





    anyways lots of private rented landlords wont allow people with housing benefits as they dont get much profit from it and it can take ages to find one

    Where did people live before they started to make homes/housing?

    Early man tended to live in the same environment as animals, huddling under trees or in dugout or in a cave for warmth. As tool making and other technologies grew, people began making mobile shelters (tents, hogans and teepees) which they used for at least part of the year. Sometimes they built more permanent structures out of logs or rock and came back year after year on their migratory path.





    The answer above said that almost no people lived in caves, and he's completely wrong. Cave sites in North America, Spain, France, Britain and Eastern Europe have yielded some of the most important finds regarding our earliest history, and have clearly shown generations on top of generations of people living in caves, at least part of the year. The very term Neanderthal, after all, comes from a cave complex in France where cave paintings and the debris pf tool making and food preparation show long inhabitation.





    However, it's important to remember that, except in a few temperate locations close to the seas, most humans were nomandic until the agricultural revelution began. After then, many people began settling down and had to find a way to protect themselves from the environment in one place, year round. They had greater stability and could sometimes produce a food surplus, and so were able to start creating what you would refer to as permanent housing. Those who continued to be nomadic, mostly continued to lead a cave / tend / temporary wood or grass structure sort of life. They mostly followed the heards, and over time, began tending the heards, but remained largely nomadic.Where did people live before they started to make homes/housing?
    Well, you know, in the woods. Where else would they live if they didn't have homes? J/K :)





    As several have pointed out, before agriculture most people were on the move most of the time, so they didn't really have homes and would shelter wherever they could. Gotta remember, people were a lot tougher back then, so as long as they could get out of the wind they could shelter for the night almost anywhere. Like, you know, the other animals. And yes, caves were used extensively, and caves near permanent hunter/gatherer food sources like a good productive coastline were probably the first real ';homes'; humans ever had.





    Archaeological evidence of temporary brush shelters and hide tents and such wouldn't survive, so to a large extent the answer to your question is still unknown. Interesting question.Where did people live before they started to make homes/housing?
    Good question. That depends on which people you talk about; there is a big difference between early Europeans and Australian Aboriginies! Not only are different cultures... well, different, they did not all start building houses at the same time.


    However, generally speaking, many people were nomads first, and they would travel around, living off the land as they moved (that includes hunting), and probably constructing temporary shelters as they went. It was with the advent of agriculture people began to settle down and construct more permanent housing.
    Imagine yourself many miles from what you think of as civilization and embellish on the thought by having a mate and some children to provide for. Now there are no apartments or empty ranch style homes in sight and it looks like a storm is coming! The first time this happens you all scramble to find a big tree or overhanging rock to get under and out of the weather. I think that this would get you thinking about putting together something, made out of trees most likely, to be able to shelter in to sleep, eat and get out of the weather, if not for you, then certainly for your children. So at first, it was probably tree branches, woven grass/reeds moving on to animal skins and later piling stone upon stone. Each generation improving on what mom and dad had called home.
    The easiest is caves or depressions in the rock faces or in the crevices. You can see proof of those spots being inhabited by occasionally seeing simple paintings on the walls or soot from ancient fires that burned below. Found in North America, in France, in China, in Australia. That is the most simplest and the one you would look for if you were lost in the woods, the next being near under or beside a fallen log or two. Especially if you don't have any tools. So begins the start of the wood and rock buildings which continue on to present day.
    i hope to god no one says caves. (the term ';caveman'; is technically false since very, very few early man actually lived in caves)





    since the very beginning, man may not have even had any sort of house. like animals. sleeping under a tree, and roaming around nomadically for food. over time primitive structures like lean-to shelters or tee-pee like structures would have been used (using tree branches). OR depending on where the person lived, their home would be built out of stone and/or mud. (or a mix of mud, rock and tree limbs). and as knowledge expanded, homes got more complicated. though, the idea of a home has changed little. the only things that have changed really are the building material.
    CAVES, or shelters made from sticks branches covered in leaves, or animal skins.

    Where can I get the floorplans of homes, houses, and apartments in Korea?

    I am interest in remodeling my house to the Korean style of homes.Where can I get the floorplans of homes, houses, and apartments in Korea?
    You could try contacting a realtor in Korea, but you would probably have to pay them for their time. You could probably also find Korean magazines just like we have on home decorating.
