What $250,000 Buys You Around the Country

[Panthro]

This is stupid because what $250,000 gets your can vary significantly just in your own city.

 

In some parts of Charlotte $250,000 will get you a 2500+ square foot brick home. In other areas, it will get you halfway to owning a three bedroom bungalow.

Welcome to the hood

Btw, my house is 20 minutes drive from downtown but they turning independence into highway so it probably will be 7-10 minutes drive in 1-2 years.

You all are in trouble now. :)

Well a shyt hole Mobile Home starts at 279k in the 93004.

So 250k will buy you 1st class seats to North Carolina, one hellova nice house, season tickets to the Panthers, and 50k plus in the bank.

Or Maui, haven't decide yet once house prices spike again.

My casa is a shade over 1600 sq ft and can fetch at least 250. I want more space but love our location.

My house lol

 

2,600 sqft in Mint Hill, NC

 

 

Nice house :)

 

Im in Mint Hill too

 

$270k (bought a foreclosure)

 

All brick, 3200ish square feet, irrigation, 1/2 an acre, in ground pool and jacuzzi 

 

In South Charlotte my house would be $500k. 

 

 

edit: Middle School blows, the neighborhood beside us has a great middle school. :( So either we will be spending a poo ton on a private school or moving to a tini old little house in dilworth that cost more.

y'all have big houses.

 

I live in south charlottee/matthews.  We bought our 2100 sf house (300 of  which is sunroom) in 2009 for $180,000

 

We've made a tidy sum of money on its appreciation but it still isn't quite worth $250,000.

 

Our next move will be to a high $/sqft area (hopefully dilworth)

We don't need the space. We have a 3 person family and I swear we are always typically within 5-15 ft. of each other. We could easily live in a 1000 sq ft. house.

Potential $70k profit on a $180k investment.....you made a wise choice my friend.

5,800 sf house in Weddington for just under $600k.

 

Only reason we wanted the size is for the basement.  Three kids (two are teenagers).  Tons of their friends are always lounging around the house, so we wanted to make sure they had their space (rather have them at our house than out who knows where).  The basement is totally theirs...I seldom even venture down there.

 

They have their video room with big screen and XBox/PS4...pool table...foosball table...air hockey table...and a separate bath.  Perfect place for teenagers to have fun without getting into "too much trouble".

i might be able to get a full janitor walk-in closet , 1 bath and no kitchen for $250K here in nyc

I feel the same way about our first floor.  We have a living room, a big den, and a bigger sunroom.  Three living areas.

 

We designated the living room as a seating only area and we barely spend time in there.

 

The sunroom we intend as a playroom, but the kids don't spend much time in there.  They bring the toys into the den (where the big TV is) and that's where we spend most of our time.

 

Meanwhile, our upstairs is cramped as fug (3 bedrooms, 2 baths, barely 800SF of space up there)

 

It's a weird house.
