I looked up avg prices by state.
To summarize:
There are 12 states in the price range of $100k-200k.
16 states in the $200-300k range
13 states 300-400k
5 states 400-500k
2 states 500-600k
2 states 600-700k
1 state 700-800k
The 12 states with the lowest avg house price (100k-200k) are:
WV, MS, AR, OK, IA, KY, AL, KS, OH, IN, LA, MO
Many will say “I don’t want to live there”. Which is reasonable. But you can’t say there are no affordable homes in America. And some of the cities in those states have some nice amenities. Columbus, Ohio. St Louis, MO, Des Moines, IA, etc. I wouldn’t count it out completely if I were super desperate for a house.
