Cheap Houses For Sale

We establish cheap houses for sale all over the country. My married woman Ana and I were on a seven-week drive around the country. It was a vacation, but we looked at houses too, and bought one in a great small town in the mounts of western Montana. It cost $17,500, and after $2000 to repair it up, we lived there for respective calendar months before merchandising it for $28,000.

We loved Anaconda. Where else can you wing fish, travel to a three-dollar film in a beautiful old art-deco theater (the 5th most beautiful in the country, according to the Smithsonian), driblet some nickles in a slot machine, eat at a mulct restaurant, halt by the barroom for a dollar beer, and purchase a house for under $30,000 - all within a four block area! There are good schools and churches, a library with fast internet service, and wildlife (including bears) a few hundred paces from downtown.

Why Are There Cheap Houses For Sale?

There are cheap houses in Anaconda, and nearby Butte because there aren't many good jobs. I easily establish occupations in Anaconda - but not good ones. This explicates why people left the country in the 80's, after the ours and smelteries closed.

Thirteen percent of the "housing units" in Anaconda are vacant, according to the 2000 U.S. census. This have driven down the home terms dramatically. Since it still have got all the basic ammenities, is cleaner now, and is slowly recovering, it's a great topographic point to retire to or to travel to if you have an internet or other non-location-based business.

A poor local economic system is the ground you can purchase cheap houses in many parts of the country. These are towns that have got seen troubled times, but are often recovering, sometimes with good reasons. Anaconda, for example, now has, in improver to it's beautiful mountain scenery, a skis vacation spot and a Jack Saint Nicholas golf game course. Houses cost four modern times as much an hr in any direction, and those terms are jump to attain Anaconda eventually.

Cheap Houses You Don't Desire To Buy

There are towns like the 1 in South Dakota where we stopped for luncheon 1 day. A bulletin board had advertisements for cheap houses for sale by desperate people trying not to be the last to go forth town. There was a photograph of a beautiful old five-bedroom farmhouse for $11,000. As we ate, we looked up the deserted street and noticed that most of the edifices were boarded-up. This was a dying town, with nil to assist resuscitate it. A free house wouldn't be a good adequate ground to travel here.
