We have 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, family rooms, livingroom, large kitchen, dining room, 2 car garage around here, and prices are like from $140,000 to $300,000...
Some people like me, or you, can't afford to make the payment, the payment for $140,000 to $300,000 are like from $800 to $1,400.00 monthly payment for 30 years fixed. It's pain in the ass what you are looking for.. A nice house with cheap price that doesn't rip you off or anything. I know, we have the same problem.. We been looking for another bigger house for 4 years and nothing that match my dream.
Right now, we are living in our house, the house that my husband brought for $39,000 and we re-finianced the house with new porch and re-model, we borrowed $30,000, that was 13 years ago and we still have about $18,000 left to pay off the house.. I cannot wait!! After the house is pay off, we will be able to sell the house in full amount of $80,000 and it will go to my pocket...
We can't find our "perfect matched" house, we decided to look for a land, and we did found 2 acres land for $21,000 and we still paying that loan off in about 4 more years, and hopefully, we can build our "dream" house there in our choices...
Everyone are very picky about buying house. It might take you forever to find a perfect house you dreaming...
