anywhere in U.S. not affected by housing boom/bubble?

bubble? homes are still dirt cheap compared to where I am.

900 k euro for 3 story 5 bedroom thats 40x40 ft in floor surface and less than an acre of land. Ugly as hell, just a grey cube of bricks. thats more than a million dollars

250k gets you one of these in the outer houston area. great nieghborhoods, small town feel but short commute to all the jobs in houston, the gulf coast 40min south and river rapids 2hrs north. in the top 5 as far as public schools. decent taxes and very low crime.

these homes means your making roughly 150k or so in salary around here.

those houses are at least 1-1.5 million in nj
 
I miss cheap houses. I don't miss them enough to leave florida and go back to Nashville though. I grew up there and it's a nice place (though i like murfreesboro tn better) but I just have salt water running through my veins and I need to play at the ocean - often.

We have been in FL 8 months but we aren't buying yet. Houses in my county have gone up super high, super fast over the last few years. But things seem to be dropping just a bit where I am and I'm wondering if things might fall a bit more before they go back up - at least here in my area. If it does, then I'll buy this house on the bay that I am renting.

But if you want a nice place to live with good jobs, cheap housing, and friendly people, check out Rutherford county Tennessee. In Murfreesboro/smyrna area you can buy a super nice house for 200 - 250. Best schools are in the blackman area of the county too. I sold a house there 9 mo ago.
 
Yup. Here in the midwest there never really was a housing boom. My aunt & uncle just bought a house for 65k. I was going to point out that in Houston you can get a 4-5 bedroom for 200k but spongebob already did.
 
Thanks for all the posts. ...looks like TX or the Midwest are the last few holdouts for sanely-priced housing.

Are there any nice cities/communities left where you can still buy a really nice house for a quarter-mil, instead of it just getting you some shitty entry-level stucco piece of crap???
Yeah, the fucking town I live in! :redhot: It's an approximate 2 block area of geography that the g-damned houses are only worth about 25% to 35% more than they were 15 years ago :redhot:

I will NEVER, EVER, EVER forgive my ex husband for demanding we buy a house here! Jesus, where I waanted to move the houses went up about 250% (no, I'm not shitting you). Places that were selling for $75,000 15 years ago are now selling for $250,000 and more.

:redhot:

I don't GET it!!! It's a decent urban/suburban area, convenient to major roads, walking distance to lots of stuff, across the street from a nice park, less than a mile from an elementary school that's partnered with a daycare center. It's a GREAT starter home!

Unfortunately, parking is for total SHIT, and the traffic patterns changed over the years and my house is now on the corner of a very busy intersection.

God I hate real estate ...
