There's a very nice short sale listed but it will likely sell for closer to $260k (bait &amp; switch price)</p> <p>$400,000 - Nothing, not in my zipcode or the next town over! There are four at $435,000 and up. I'm including a photo of a turn of the century bed &amp; breakfast up for sale in the center of town, it's been completely remodeled.

We aren't from Mi so it was a but of a guessing game for us but it has worked out really well. You are in a great area too though, Birmingham was a consideration but we got about double the house here!

Likely minimal updates.<br /> $200K: 40-50 year old 2000 sq ft two story with a basement. 3 bd 2.5 bath, some updates and partially finished basement on a .3 acre lot. (This is basically my house)<br /> $400K: Either nicely updated or newer 3000 sq ft home with 4 beds, 2.5 bath and a finished basement on a nice .25-.5 acre lot.</p> <p>However, this is my exact location. If you go into the school district to the east or north you can get much more bang for your buck - which is what we are thinking about doing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/house-prices-in-your-area#post-617904 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 14:25:26 +0000 yoursilverlining 617904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>100k: land that is not in-town or anywhere near the water. The land would need well and septic, so you’re looking at an additional 40k-50k for those, plus the cost to run electricity. No homes/condos in that price range.</p> <p>200k: more land (still not in-town, still need well/septic), and a couple of very small homes in need of repair (major stuff, not just like ugly wallpaper).</p> <p>400k: choice of a couple of custom build packages or older, stately homes in the 2k-2500 SF range.

Small places/lots go for like double if they're near downtown, or you can get a 3,000+ sq ft house on an acre for $300-350k just a 15 minute drive from downtown. </p> <p>All of it is so much better than the west coast where we used to live though! There you couldn't get anything for under $400k! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/house-prices-in-your-area#post-617865 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 14:15:00 +0000 Modern Daisy 617865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing for any of those price ranges. Studios in my neighborhood start in the high $400k's. Sometimes I'll see a 'share' of an apartment for under $400K, but that makes me shudder to think about. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/house-prices-in-your-area#post-617857 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 14:14:09 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 617857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In my suburban, somewhat pricey area, 100k will get you a very small, dated ranch. 200k will get you a new but very builder basic small home. 400k will get you a pretty sizable (3000 sf?) place, likely with some custom touches.</p> <p>However, in my dream neighborhood, 300-400k would only get me a fixer-upper! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/house-prices-in-your-area#post-617845 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 14:12:14 +0000 MrsTiz 617845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: Move here!

I can't believe the price differences in these areas. I feel pretty lucky - we bought our house for less than $100K (it was a foreclosure that we did a lot of remodeling to), and it's 2,000 sq ft, 4 br, 2.5 baths. Lots of work though... </p> <p>My small MI town has the following:<br /> $100K - 3br, 1.5 bath, 1560 sq ft, .5 acres<br /> $200K - 5br, 3.5 bath, 4200 sq ft, 2+ acres<br /> $400K - Actually, there was nothing in my county for this price. Generally speaking, one could buy a modest waterfront house on a lot of land (50+ acres), or a large house (4000+ sq feet) on a modest plot of land. </p> [attach=3336/13/mj8s4o.600x449.house-1.JPG] [attach=3336/13/mj8s4q.600x449.house-2.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/house-prices-in-your-area#post-616562 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 08:03:13 +0000 MrsTiz 616562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>#1 - $100k - 3 bed, 2 bath, 1400 sq ft. -1 car garage - built in 2001<br /> #2 - $200k - 3 bed, 2.5 baths, 2500 sq ft - 3 car garage - built in 2012<br /> #3 - $300K - 4 bed, 3.5 bath, 3500 sq ft. 2 car garage - built in 2012<br /> #4 - $400k - 4 bed, 4 bath - on a lake - built in 2003</p> <p>and just for fun:<br /> #5 - 1 million - 4 bed, 5 bath, 5000 sq ft w/ 2000 sq ft guest cottage, built in 1925, 2 car garage - private neighborhood </p> [attach=2456/13/mj8pld.290x218.1896753375.jpg] [attach=2456/13/mj8ple.290x218.1458794615.jpg] [attach=2456/13/mj8plg.290x218.1611507167.jpg] [attach=2456/13/mj8plh.310x233.l7b6ecf43-m0m.jpg] [attach=2456/13/mj8plj.458x344.l8ea91244-m0x.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/house-prices-in-your-area#post-616063 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 21:34:27 +0000 SugarplumsMom 616063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Housing prices are a little tricky to look-up here because all sales are basically an auction. They often list it for a lot less, hoping for a bidding war. So I looked up the actual sale prices and found this:</p> <p>As far back as 2009, a few plots of land approx 14,000 sq ft each sold for $36k. Then from 2011-2013 three small plots of land sold for almost double the price. Homes built on those plots have not been on the market.</p> <p>100k: townhouse (915 sq. ft.), sold on 2008<br /> 200k: house (12,475 sq. ft), sold on 2008<br /> 200k: townhouse (550 sq. ft), sold on 2012 (on the same street as above)<br /> 300k: house (7,900 sq ft), built in early 1900's, sold on Feb 2013 </p>
