Members Emprov Posted December 9, 2008 Members Share Posted December 9, 2008 anywhere? We just did a refy and, as we were signing the papers, the agent was telling us about a 2/2 in Union City that closed for $78k. She said that it wasn't a dump either.

Members SA Rios Posted December 9, 2008 Members Share Posted December 9, 2008 Yes.Probably don't want to live where they are though. Depends on where you are. In Chicago, no. I'd stay away from a 70 k house. Out in bumble{censored}, you can probably get a really nice place for 70k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members t3ch Posted December 9, 2008 Members Share Posted December 9, 2008 my thoughts exactly..... There's plenty of nice places to get for $70k currently... It's just not going to be in a sprawling metropolis or have 10,000 sq ft. There are plenty of nice suburbs under $100k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lug Posted December 9, 2008 Members Share Posted December 9, 2008 You can get a very nice but small house in the 70's here. Plus the bonus of having Lug as a neighbor. That alone is worth many many thousands of dollaros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Emprov Posted December 9, 2008 Members Share Posted December 9, 2008 Skeptical.You think an agent would admit it's a dump? :poke:Her only job is to drive docs to people's houses and get them signed. She's an independent contractor, having no affiliation with any real estate agency or mortgage broker -- she had no reason to lie. A keyboardist buddy of mine is an agent for a bank, his job is to clear out foreclosures. He's seeing some houses go for scary cheap down here.

Members bassplayer7770 Posted December 9, 2008 Members Share Posted December 9, 2008 I live in Bumble{censored}, Ohio, and there are several houses on the market that could sell for $70k or less. My wife and I sold our house in June. We lived in a Columbus suburb. It sold for $124k, plus we had to cover $4k in closing costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bassesofalessergod Posted December 9, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 9, 2008 if it were possible, in someplace i'd want to live, i'd be moving home next week..... pay cash outright for the house and have enough $$$ left over to live for a while without stressing getting a job right away. Soooooooooo tempting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Job market is better here than anywhere else and there are plenty of carpenters around due to Hurricane Ike work to have the top sill of the front door raised so you could fit in.
