Buying the cheapest houses in your neighborhood?

If you're an average buyer looking for an average-priced house, you may be interested to know what a typical house costs in your town. But what if you're not an average buyer? What if you want – or need – to spend as little as possible? In honor of frugal buyers and cheapskates, we've put together a collection of houses that are the cheapest of the cheap in their market. Keep in mind that while the cheapest house in town may only cost a buck in Detroit, you'd have to cough up a lot more than that to live among movie stars or rich geniuses — think Bill Gates. We looked for single-family homes that could actually be lived in, though some will need quite a bit of work before that's possible, and we talked to real-estate agents about why they're priced so low. Median sale prices are as reported by the National Association for Realtors for the third quarter and are for existing single-family homes in the indicated metropolitan statistical area. NOTE: Homes...

Buy now for $30k.

Homes for a song: For sale for $30,000 or less By Christopher Solomon of MSN Real Estate Think you can't afford to buy a house? Think again. Thanks to the Great Recession and the titanic tanking of the real-estate market, some shockingly cheap property is up for sale. If you're willing to relocate – OK, sometimes really relocate – and to put in a lot of sweat equity, you can buy a home for as little as $30,000 in markets as diverse as Lansing, Mich., and Miami. At late October's national average 30-year fixed mortgage rate of 3.94%, a full loan on a $30,000 home would amount to just $173.44 per month. That's far cheaper than renting. With help from our partner Realtor.com, we've found a dozen properties around the nation. Admittedly, most aren't in the next hip neighborhood, and all need some TLC. But if you're looking for an investment or a starter home, this could be the ticket. NOTE: All descriptive information is courtesy of listing agents. Pr...

Magic Marketing Tools.

Craigslist is one of the top lead sources for most of our customers. Why should you use an ad creation and posting tool? Two reasons. First, you can't manage what you can't measure, and Craigslist doesn't measure anything. Unless you can track leads back to specific postings, you can't tell which titles or designs are best. You also can't tell if your ads are getting "ghosted". You're flying blind. Second, it's easier. Writing ads, posting them and adhering to a schedule is a lot of work. The Posting Tool makes it as easy! From the desk of Edward Cambas - Lic. Real Estate Broker

Occupy takes a whole new turn.

OAKLAND, Calif. — Occupy Wall Street protesters declared victory after thousands of demonstrators shut down evening operations at one of the nation's busiest shipping ports late Wednesday, escalating a movement whose tactics had largely been limited to marches, rallies and tent encampments since it began in September. As a voice over a bullhorn said "The night is not over, yet," protest organizers told demonstrators to head back to the downtown plaza where the Oakland movement has been based for more than a month. The Occupy encampment across the street from City Hall also was the scene of intense clashes with authorities last week. The nearly 5-hour protest at the Port of Oakland, the nation's fifth-busiest shipping port, was intended to highlight a daylong "general strike" in the city, which prompted solidarity rallies in New York, Los Angeles and other cities across the nation.

How bad is the real estate market?

Want to know how bad the real-estate market is? Just drive down almost any street in the U.S. and you’re likely to see "for sale" signs lining the road. Come back a month later and it’s a good bet the same signs will still be there — and quite possibly a few new ones, too. But while there’s a lot of housing pain, there’s also some good news. That’s because in some markets across the country, not only have home values improved, a few have even seen double-digit growth. So where is this miracle occurring? Believe it or not, the city that has seen the biggest increase in home values is in Florida. That’s right — the state that has seen home values plummet 52.3% from 2006 peak levels. Nearly 96,000 loans were modified in Florida through August 2011 under President Barack Obama’s Making Home Affordable program. Joblessness, foreclosures and high inventory hamper recovery in nearly every corner of the state, with rare exceptions. In this case, the rare exception is Weston, a high...

No. 6 Best Housing Market: Herndon, Va. Percent change: +12.6 MSA: Washington, D.C. Population: 23,292 Herndon has a small-town feel even though it is part of the larger Washington D.C. area and sits adjacent to Washington-Dulles International Airport. Old railroads have been turned to positive purposes, with the center of town hosting an old railroad station converted into the Herndon Depot Museum and a 45-mile chunk of track made into a trail that runs through the area. The median home value in the city was $425,100 in August, according to the Zillow Home Value Index, and as of Aug. 31, the median sale price was $ 443,000. From the desk of Edward E. Cambas, Lic. Real Estate Broker.
In Zillow's survey of the country's 1,000 largest cities for Businessweek.com, Weston, Fla., an affluent city near Fort Lauderdale, ranked as the best-performing market, with an increase in median home value of 15.1% since February 2009. Other surprising winners: Utica, N.Y., Morristown, Tenn., and Penn Hills, Pa. Still, many markets fared far worse than average. In Homestead, Fla., a low-income Miami suburb about 50 miles from top performer Weston, the median home value fell 48.8% — the greatest drop in the country. Here are the country's five best-performing and five worst-performing housing markets since Obama took office, starting with the worst. From the desk of Eddie Cambas Miami, through MSN Real Estate.
America's best- and worst-performing housing markets By Venessa Wong of Bloomberg Businessweek Since President Barack Obama took office in 2009, the government has run a lackluster mortgage relief program and offered Americans incentives to buy homes. Interest rates have fallen to historic lows. Yet by August 2011, the U.S. median home value was down to $172,600, or 9.9% below February 2009 levels, according to online real-estate information marketplace Zillow.com. Although most housing markets have struggled in the two and a half years that Obama has been president, home values have risen in a small number of cities — and they are not necessarily where you might expect.

Four ways to heat up your marriage.

. Flirt like it's your first night together. Think back to those early days of dating. Every laugh, lingering look, or under-the-table leg brush was a guaranteed goose bump-giver. Well, you can turn back the clock to that supercharged premarried state by making a simple shift: Start flirting again. Ditch typical dinner convo topics like work, in-laws, and home renovations for entertaining stories or provocative questions like, "Imagine you could go anywhere in the world, right this second — where would it be?" If you're at a party, slink away, get a couple of drinks, and flirtatiously introduce yourself to your spouse like you're strangers. It may take them a second to catch on, but once they do, it'll set a sexier tone for the rest of the night — and remind you both that there's still a lot to discover about each other. 2. Make your spouse do a double-take. It's a miracle that you find each other attractive in ratty sweatpants, but yep, you do. Th...
