S/O MLS Listings-PIP the cheapest house

[juris11]

For some reason I enjoy looking at the super cheap houses and being horrified by the condition theya re in. What is the cheapest house you can find in your area?

Here is mine: on the market for a whopping $11,900. No pictures of the inside, but the blurb says "Look at this as a great opportunity to fix it up any way you want it."

[oregonpachey]

It's not the cheapest (there was a trailer for $38K) but here you go:

$45000

$4000.

$29,600 - 2 bed, 1 bath, 672 sq ft, built in 1945. Described as "Cute Country Cottage" but notes no well or water supply to the house, no known septic system. WTF, there's no way people have been living here for almost 70 years without water or sewer, right?

This house is $11k. But trust me, you will be shot if you live there.



This house is $15,900. Again, you have a death wish if you live there.



And the interior looks like this...

Here's the cheapest single family house in my zip (there were some condos that were cheaper). $105,000







lol, in the description it says "home is in a flood zone".

[rikki]

The cheapest in my zip is a 2 bed, 1 bath, 700 sq. foot condo for $130,000. No interior shots and the outside is really ugly.

town near me, similar COL
56,900 2 bed/1 bath - needs some updating - but it very livable.






but the most expensive in the same town is 129,000, 4 bed 2 bath, with lake access, built in 1997.

"Must see to appreciate!"

$9900, 1 br, 1 bath, 378 sf.

[Mrs.Beagle]

$79,000. 2bed, 1ba, 654sq ft.

[ejpint]

All it says is "home needs a lot of work". Way to sell it. Somehow they fit 2 bedrooms in there. $9,000.

$21,500

[minniebee]

This is the cheapest in my ZIP code.

1 bed / 1 bath / 1512 sq ft listed at $29,900



Listed under description:
Possibilities! Possibilities! It needs a little loving attention and a few necessities. No current functioning well. Septic condition is unknown at this time.

Yeah, if there's no functioning well, I would say it needs a few necessities. This must be out in the boonies, because where I live, we have city water/sewer, not wells.

Every photo available is of the same room, which doesn't look great, but since that's the only room pictured I can only assume that the rest of the house is worse.

79k - It's advertised as waterfront - which it is, but the channels don't go anywhere - meaning there is no access to the Gulf of Mexico like most of the channels in our neighborhood- also in a flood zone - would probably be impossible to get insurance on since it's an older home and is not elevated off the ground (which has been req'd by building code for the last 10yrs).

[stingsharkruns]

This one comes with 2 pianos & an Organ.... lol (104k) (also "Waterfront"

[lindyanne]

Oh, I lied, the sort was from highest to lowest. This is actually the cheapest one at $99,000 for 661sf:

I missed that one.... but maybe we're in different zip codes.

[schrodinger]

$70k, 2BR/1BA

Located in a valley outside of town that gets no direct sunlight from October to February.

The only thing about it I like is the tree fort in the front yard.

I interpreted "your area" pretty broadly This one is in Quincy. I'll have to look in our town.

And, hey, come hang out on the Boston board, too.

I am totally dense. Where is the Boston board?

Who needs water or sewer when you have a satellite dish?

That's true. I'd probably shit in a hole before I'd give up cable.

$40K: 3/2 in the hood

[heyrebekah]

At $160, this isn't the cheapest but IMO it's certainly one of the most depressing listings I encounter regularly. They started out asking $212K in 2009. Almost 3 years later and it looks like this house finally has a contingent offer.
