re: Homebuyer affordability slipped 5th straight month; Median Single Family Price: $446,400
Posted by sosaysmorvant on 7/19/26 at 9:17 am to ragincajun03
Biggest problem is there are no "cheap" starter homes out there. Homes that should not be much more than $100,000 are getting listed at twice that or more. It's a crazy strain on the younger folks trying to start a life.,
I've said it for a while......owning a few rent houses is a smart business investment. More and more people will have to put off home ownership just to make ends meet.

honestly it was the 60s and 70s. You’ll have to rewire and maybe replumb but the bones were never better. Mass production of overseas building materials was not a thing yet, structural and interior framing and exterior envelopes were overbuilt because that’s what they had to work with.
that’s what I would be looking for if I were buying
These are built to last, many with solid wood paneling on the interior, but aesthetically they are shite to look at and they led to many of the old style homes in South Louisiana to be torn down (a great sin in my book).
There was an old plantation type home on the land my grandfather and parents landed on. It was the main house my grandfather lived in for several years, but it was torn down to build a ranch style, brick home. I would kill to live in that old house today. Sosay it was a bitch to clean (it was spacious) and my maw maw wanted it gone. Tore it down for cypress scrap and up went the ranch house. This was the early 70's as my dad built one at the same time. They are solid homes still standing today with good hurricane resilency but are not pleasing to the eye.

Same spot. shite won't grow. It can't be fungi. I guess I'll dig up a couple feet of soil and put fresh dirt. I don't know what else to do.

Why does it seem like the 200th anniversary was so much of a bigger deal? Like the 250th anniversary seems to be barely a bigger deal than the 249th or 248th anniversary.
Trump made it about himself instead of about the country as a whole. Dude could frick up a wet dream.

My property is likewise unusual…small older house with practically zero modern features and not really that well set up for a large traditional American family (2 BR, 2BA). But…it’s a 6 acre property 3 miles from town on a quiet wooded dead end street with several different environments going on and with good dirt. So when/if I ever need to sell it the same guy looking at a DR Horton subdivision won’t be interested…who will be interested is a young family who want to build a home farm and there are plenty of those people, or an older couple with kids out of the house who want to get back to the land. And that’s where I’ll market.
How did you find your house? Stumbled across it or searched for the right place.
We would love to downsize to something similar.

Just watched it a couple nights ago. Solid movie. A rarity these days! My only regret is not taking it in at the theater. This is a movie to be consumed at the movies. :lol:
