select houses in home type and post that image.
The numbers drop dramatically along with what you would actually be able to get for under $200k. Lots of 2 bd 1 bath homes. Not exactly family homes.

No they aren’t they just aren’t modern enough for your taste.
I've driven through a lot of small American towns across the country in the last few years and they're in bad shape. Abandoned buildings and closed businesses everywhere. Even within close proximity to major cities.
The exceptions to this would be SOME resort towns or places where there's large concentrations of high net worth individuals.

Not if you can finance it at a low rate.

I don't think I believe it. I'm surrounded by $400k+ homes and there's no shortage of buyers. And by the looks of the buyers of many of these, they aren't hauling in that much. I don't know. I just don't think there's that many people out there handing out substantial gifts to get their kids and such into these houses, so where is it coming from?

LOL when "Home Type" is "House". Half of these hardly look livable.

You’re forgetting how much college cost and the student loan repayments.

You would be surprised. It’s either gifts, or a really bad financial decision.

Yes in “flyover states”. Not everybody gets to live in a major city/coastal area and never have. The entitlement to think 90% of the country isn’t good enough for you because it doesn’t have a Starbucks or pickle all
The problem here is that you think it's an entitlement issue when the real reason why younger college grads want to move to cities is because that's where the jobs are.

Why would a single 30 year old male care about school districts

There are plenty of jobs in small towns. Do an indeed search.
The real problem is that young people want to be close to bars, restaurants, concerts. I can’t fault them for this, but this is what they are paying for.
You can buy a $200k home in Corpus Christi or literally any small city in texas and there are tons of jobs. But it’s not fun. It’s hick. Whatever. Their loss

VERY Difficult to get a mortgage on a 2/1. The money available is far less than money available for 3/2s and above...

Maybe you should move then.

Sir the median income in Corpus Christi is 28k while average house is 318k.
We’re talking the average American. If you’re rich then none of this matters

Without knowing the search parameters they used, and outlier pricing, those numbers dont mean shite as far as avg pricing goes.
Are 20+ mill, NY, CA and FL sales included in their info ?
BR is not a pricey, nor a cheap market, but the avg sales price in the BR area, $75,000 - $900,000 range the past 12 months is $279,000.
