Can vary wildly depending on where you want to live...incidentally that is about 200 sq. ft. smaller than my garage! LOL!
My old 'hood (where there are a fair number of 3 car garage homes) I would say you might could do 1400 sq. ft. (if they even built anything that small) for $150k...maybe a bit less. A 3 car garage home in the 1850 - 2100 sq. ft. range would probably be around$180k. Not a big difference in payment over time for the increased size and garage space...
Go to wcad.org and put in zip code 78717 and see what pops up. That is my old zip and has a bunch of really decent normal sort of sized houses in it. Some very new and some quite old (say 35+ years) and you should see all kinds of good stuff. wcad is Williamson County Appraisal District...my old house was 8407 Cambria Dr...it was 3 car 2200 sq ft...really decent place. You can get valuations there...at least what the county thinks the homes are worth for their tax purposes anyway! Had we stayed there we would have owned it outright for nearly 4 years! OH WELL!
Well, scratch that WCAD stuff...it was not working for me today. Any real estate agent (or website) can show you homes in 78717 that are for sale and the prices.
Oh well thats not bad then James. thats a little less then a 1/4 of what I paid for my home here.
I just can't go to high because I will have to pay cash since I am not an AM citizen. I have an appointment with one of my managers on the 25 to see what is down that way for work. With out work we can only stay in the country for 183 days at a time.
We will see if anything pans out.
