10 US Cities with the Most Suspiciously Cheap' Real Estate

[@tatianastarcic]

Asking a real estate agent whether you should buy a home right now is like to asking an alcoholic whether they think you should have a drink lol. Homes in my neighborhood that cost around $450k in sales in 2019 are now going for $800k to $950k. Every seller in my neighborhood is currently making a $350k profit. Simply unreal. In all honesty, deflation is what we require. The only other option is for many people to go bankrupt, which would also be bad for the economy. That is the only way to return to normal.

[@Vincent-j8u]

Home prices will come down eventually, but for now; its best to offset some of your real estate investments and get into the financial markets or gold. The new mortgage rates are crazy, add to that the recession and the fact that mortgage guidelines are getting more difficult. Home prices will need to fall by a minimum of 40% (more like 50%) before the market normalizes. If you are in cross roads or need sincere advise on the best moves to take now its best you seek an independent advisor who knows about the financial markets.

[@nicolasbenson009]

People often overlook the value of financial advisors until they experience the downside of emotional decision-making. I recall a few summers ago, after a difficult divorce, when I needed help reviving my struggling business. I did some research and found a licensed advisor who worked diligently to grow my reserves, even amid inflation. As a result, my reserves grew from $285k to around $720k.

Fort Wayne is a decent place. If you’re from a big city and love big cities you probably won’t like it. If you’re from a small town it might be enough city for you. Briggs is pretty correct in his assessment . A lot of people who bought a home 15+ years ago are finding their untouched property is now worth 80k+ more without any changes. A lot of these houses are going on the market. A lot of them have good bones though compared to the local new construction - which is expensive and lacks quality and craftsmanship. The downtown area of Fort Wayne is relatively small and does have some beautiful homes though. They actually hold a walking tour each year where owners can showcase their historic homes and the way they’ve preserved and updated it. There are also small towns surrounding Fort Wayne with equally as affordable housing if you are someone who wants country with a city nearby. (15-20) minutes away.

They are suspiciously cheap because this is just the city real estate, not the metro area. I live in one of those cities. It frequently shows up as one of the hottest metro markets in the US. In October we are averaging 14 days on the market with 75% selling for over asking price. This is not meant to say that you're wrong for listing my city. It's meant to show that a narrowly defined criteria can be misleading.

[@monical6949]

I definitely think Scranton is worth looking into for anyone looking for a cheaper house. I lived about a half hour outside of this city for 2 decades and it's really a great city with a lot of history. The Office part of it is fun too. There are great places to eat here and lots of good shopping. I've always had a lot of fun in Scranton. Oh and if you love parades, check out their St Paddy's Day parade. Last time I went out later over 5 hours. It was fun!

[@Donkeyearsa]

I really hate that people use average instead of median. Million dollar houses really throws things off. If you go with median really high or low house prices don't make much of a change. The Us average and median house prices in the US is off by a huge amount. What I would like to see are the diamonds in the rough. Low crime, some job opportunities, OK schools, some things to be able to do, basically no reason that you wont want to live there but no one is moving there.

[@mysterioanonymous3206]

If you're the average Joe you'll look at the same places the other average Joe's do, and the prices will reflect that. But if you're more the peculiar type, that may still be possible. Say you're an outdoor freak or have some other particular preference that goes against the grain. But I don't think most people can handle that, they'll be too remote, be paid too little or have some other killer criteria that isn't being met.
