Thanks for this thread OP. Interesting to read everyone’s stories.

I’m in NYC so I can’t even fathom such low housing prices. I want to go to upstate NY, but so does everyone else and locals are saying the same thing - housing is going for wayyyy above market and getting snapped up.

I’m okay with living 90 minutes out of the city somewhere in the Hudson Valley if it means I get to have a farm. Ultimately, I want a homestead with a 3 BR min, and I’ve been seriously considering buying land and building from scratch. I’m not sure that I’ll find what I’m looking for :(

The "large" living room style is in. I've been researching condos along with "luxury" apartments in NYC and it's all trending this way in the newer developments.
DC is similar. No such thing as low housing anywhere in this region.

And all the new condos are very small.

Alot of you are 2015 with your thinking, the market doesnt work like yall think, not anymore.
This is not a buyer's market, your not gonna find deals unless you completely relocate to state/city that's not up and comming.

Any major market city forget about it, even the outskirts to those cities property is rising.

If your in cali your gonna have to go near highway 5 to find the deals you want (middle of nowhere)

Do your homework, ask all the questions

Tiny rooms for 300k? Is the cost of living in NC that much different from Texas?
Also, what is "tiny" to you? A 2200 sqft house with 3 bedrooms should have a great sized master. My home in Houston was 170k with 2300sqft and the master is pretty large.
The open concept can make a house feel larger to some that like open spaces, but it also shows how small it actually is over time ...

If it ain’t on the DC side I wouldn't go near it. That area isn't getting better any time soon.

I give DC another 5-8 years and it will be a majority White city. With the Black population being maybe 30-35%.
You got these lil bytch ni66az killing 1 year old babies and females like it ain’t nuthin :mjcry:

These monied White folks aren’t gonna go for that but for so long. They already bulldozed Barry Farm and now half of Kenilworth is knocked down, next up is Lincoln Hgts, Richardson Dwellings aka Clay Terrace and Park Morton aka 640.

These ni66az don’t know what’s about to hit’em in 5 years :francis:
black people who want to stay in DC need to buy EOTR. i know a few people who are buying in Ward 4, 7, and 8, all black

That area around Benning Road, Deanwood, Pennsylvania Ave SE is prime real estate get in now
