Shit, being retired I could not even afford a home in my own neighborhood if I had to buy one today without diving into my retirement savings.I own a home and have my mortgage already paid. I live in a nice area and have no intention of selling anytime soon.
300K+ is the starting point for anything here now and I'm not talking new homes either.
Besides one lot (now sold/cleared) it was built-out by 2000.....The lot that sold is .25 acre went for 80K and it's a shit lot.....Maybe 20' of level frontage on the street then it drops off better than a 30 degree angle.
