This may sound like an odd thing to do, but owning a luxury home in a region of the world that is not known for its beauty and splendor is quite an accomplishment, especially when you consider that many of those homes are built to be on the pricier side.
It’s a new era, and I’m not suggesting you have to do it. As long as you’re able to maintain a lifestyle that is not ostentatious, then you can have that home if you wish. The beauty of luxury homes comes from the fact that they’re not only luxurious, but also incredibly affordable. It’s not that the homes are boring, it’s just that prices are so high that you have to make quite a bit of sacrifice.
I can remember when the price tag on a home was on the order of hundreds of thousands of dollars. These days, its not that expensive, especially when you consider that most of the homes we are discussing are in the upper 200,000 range.
I also think its crazy to think that the average price of a home in a suburb of a major city is anywhere near what the typical home in the suburbs will be. In one of our previous posts, we talked about the fact that there are many more homes out there for sale than homes for sale. Because of this, I think it is important to know which homes are actually popular.
The average U.S. suburban home is around $100,000. On the other hand, there are homes that are going for over $200,000. We can be fairly certain there are no homes in the middle of the woods with over $200,000 for sale on Craigslist and no one selling them for under $100,000.
To find the homes where the average sale price is 200,000 or higher, we can start with the National Association of Realtors (NAR). The NAR is a group of realtors and real estate agents that makes it their business to post information on all the homes in a particular part of the country. The NAR does a lot of the “spotting” for us. The NAR publishes a database that lists all the homes for sale in that area.
The NAR is a good place to start when looking for homes. It’s the only publicly available resource for finding the homes that are for sale for a price under 200,000. For a little more information on the NAR and its database, check out our NAR Database article.
The best resource for finding homes is the NAR, which has a database that is updated daily. You can also check your neighborhood and see if there are any homes that are still for sale. But what’s best for finding homes is to check the NAR.
If you are in the NAR, you can search for a house by name, zip code, or by the date that the owner passed away. You can also search by price, square footage, or even the address itself. That way you can get a good feel for the home that will probably have some nice landscaping and an open floor plan.
NAR is definitely a good place to start, but it’s also a place that has a lot of other homes that were also sold via NAR that you can use to compare. In NAR’s case, you can also check to see if you can buy a home that isn’t listed on NAR at a discount.
