MemberI’m in Northeast Texas and in my mid-twenties. Fiance and I bought our home in September when the market was hot – definitely a seller’s market – for $157K. 3 bedrooms, 2 baths with a 2 car garage in an up and coming area.
unfettering.
MemberOutside of Tampa, FL. We just closed on our first home last month. We paid $186.5K. Houses are pretty cheap in our town and our house is 4 bed 2.5 bath, 2300 sqft with a 2 car garage and a huge screened porch on the back.
MemberWe live in rural Pennsylvania and we got our fixer upper for $110,000 🙂 It is probably worth somewhere around $160,000 now though after all the work we put into it. It is a 3 BR, 1 Bath craftsman style bungalow about 1,300 SF (now closer to 1,600 SF since we have a partially finished basement).

Member$331k in SF Bay area when the market was still down a few yrs ago… now appraises for ~ $550k. Townhouse, not SFR.
MemberThese posts always make me sad. We paid around 420k for a townhouse in the DC suburbs.
Member$800k for 1,700sq ft in SoCal. The bathrooms & kitchen all need to be remodeled, in addition to some other more minor cosmetic work throughout the house.

Member$160k for my condo in SoCal. Im actually selling it right now and its listed for double.
MemberWe will buy next year – late 30’s – $700k ish (US.) I feel behind because of my age but my student loans also cost more than most people’s homes.
MemberJust bought our first home this year. 182K in Kansas City. 3B 2.5bath 1700sqtf and a cute little yard. Really good neighborhood.
MemberMember$140K for a 3 bed, 1.5 bath townhouse in Northwest. About 1,250 square feet. We won’t upgrade until I get pregnant.
MemberWe paid $150k for ours. Midwest city so lower COL. It is smaller though, only 1400sq ft and I bought it with just my income. Not my forever home. You can get a brand new 2500sq ft house here for $400k so that might be my forever home lol. It’s even cheaper if you’re in a rural area.
