I wondered what was available in-town for $125,000 - $150,000.
I thought there were some nice homes around $150k, but nothing looked worthwhile, everything was over $100 per square foot, and nothing was nice.
I only found one house between $150,000 and $175,000 that looked decent, but not great:

It is under $100 per square foot and it has a big lot, but it is not impressive. Most of the rooms look nice, but smaller than I expected with three bedrooms and 1,800 square feet. It seems weird to stage the house with toilet paper sitting on the toilet and junk all over the yard.
Also, I did not see any grass, just gravel all over.
I wonder how the kids like it.
So... the blue house is looking better, but it still seems more prudent to wait for a better house to come to market, or find a distressed property off of the market, although I do not have any idea how I would finance it.
