What ya get for 277K in LV

[tabs]

How bout a THREE story 1700 sq ft home with property lines 6 feet from the house....with 8 homes sharing a common driveway.

American Richmond is building 200 homes on 19 acres in NW LV. Seventy of the homes have sold since March of 2005.

Ohhh...and the 277K is base price.

Now there is a steal, where oh where did I leave my 1/4 million?

[dd74]

Do they come with a gift-wrapping room?

[Jared at Pelican Parts]

Tabs, you need to go to the bunny ranch, asap, really

[MichiganMat]

You mean, you can BUY a place for 277K? A whole place of your own? Unreal....

[87coupe]

^^ Yeah, my sentiments exactly. I had to read it slowly to pick up on his sarcasm. Those houses would be 750k here, easy.

When we moved to Houston, we started looking in the $500-600K region. They kept showing us 5000-6500 sq ft houses. We had to go 'down' to the 300-350K region to get something 'reasonable'.

[TerryBPP]

2 story! You cant buy a 2 bedroom apartment for $277k here. Unless you shopping in the Ghetto.

[Porsche-O-Phile]

That's actually a great deal - if I could find work out there, I'd snap one up. . . Aside from that whole "RE market gonna crash" thing. Maybe next year.

Want anything around here? Better have a half million.

Currently listed in Alamo, CA for 1.2 million;

Tell me about Vegas prices again, Tabby! Is gas 35 cents a gallon, too?

[Moses]

Of course a man of wealth and taste might need a little more "elbow-room" like this little casita for 12.5 million. (again in Alamo)
I wonder what the payments would be. Maybe $90,000/month?

[Porsche-O-Phile]

The day Vegas gets stable, reliable employment, less white trash and an ocean I'll be there in a heartbeat.

[Rick Lee]

$277k might get you a one room rehab condo around here. It would be a down payment on any decent house.

Not to rub it in, but here is a picture of a house currently for sale in the area I plan to move into in about 18 months. It's in McKinney, Texas, suburb of Dallas.



3300 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, game room, media room, 3 car garage, hardwood floors, yada yada yada.

Asking price?? $330,000.

You guys really need to move.

[Rick Lee]

Rick, I used to live in Wylie, TX and knew McKinney well. Back then there were no such houses anywhere near McKinney. Looks like it has really taken off. I could be happy in the Dallas area, but the traffic has really gotten horrible since I lived there.

[Nathans_Dad]

Yeah McKinney, Allen, Frisco, all the small towns outside Plano are just booming right now. Everyone is moving into that area and commuting into Dallas. The traffic is not great, but it is 100% better than Houston, where I lived for 4 years. At least Dallas has expanded 75 and put in a useful toll road system. Plus, I plan to get a job in that local area and not even go into Dallas proper unless I want to.

I was watching the local channel where realtors advertise houses for sale.

One caught my eye...

$465,000
6,000 sq. ft.
13 acres
And the house sits on a small, private lake (completly part of the property)
It only had a 2-car garage, but I think there is enough room on the property for a "shed"

Did anyone else see this? It must be interesting to see how they all get out of the driveway in the morning!

That actually is not a bad price. The cost of materials is what is driving the price of homes in most areas outside the places where land is so expensive. Hell even to build that same home around here where a lot only costs $20K would still run you around $200K. Course that would also include a basement which I assume you don't get in LV.
