Altoona, Pennsyvania still had dozens of homes for sale for less than $30,00 as I write this (2005). I just saw one listed for $7,500! This is a cute little town (see the photo on our site), yet still big enough to have everything you need.
Hot Springs, Arkansas has low cost houses. The cheapest right now is $13,500. My wife and I like Alamogordo, New Mexico a lot, and it still has homes under $50,000. Independence, Kansas has homes starting under $10,000!
How To Find Low Cost Houses
You can look up various local newspapers online, and check out the classifieds. This also assures you that it’s a town large enough for a newspaper. If there are at least a dozen houses for sale, you’ll have an idea about home prices there.
You can find real estate agents online, or in local paper classifieds. Call one and ask if there are any low cost houses for sale. If not maybe he’ll know which nearby towns have some.
