Cities Where You Can Still Buy a Home for $100,000
What can $100,000 buy you in 2019 when it comes to the housing market? It really depends on where you look. Obviously somewhere like New York City, $100,000 gets you a lot less than Akron Ohio. But here are some visual reminders of the difference:
3279 Hull Ave APT 11, Bronx, NY 10467 ( $75,000 ) 1 Bedroom, 1 Bathroom, 536 sq ft
So you can get a beautiful 536 square foot apartment for $75,000 in the Bronx. Price is $140 per square foot. Which is pretty much the cost of building a new home per square foot in Wisconsin. Does that sound appealing? If you are a young professional on the go, maybe this $75,000 starter apartment would be a good fit. But if you’re raising a family you may want to look elsewhere….
