I figured I should start a new thread since I was getting wayyy off the "What Stage of Life are you In?" thread.
What amazes me lately is I keep seeing these "old homes under $100k" or "old homes under $50k" posts. And it amazes me what you can get for those prices in other states. Old one or two story homes. I love the old homes with high ceilings, nice woodwork, hardwood floors etc. Many of them don't really look that bad, many of them are updated even. It just blows my mind because to get that here you'd be looking $200k or more.
I just don't think I could deal with the harsh winters, and of course no knowing anyone there.
My guess is we could have real estate come down, but I think it will take 18 months to two years if it crashes. But who knows.

In PA in my area on realtor, not a lot of homes under $100000 have high ceilings, and they’d usually be tiled ceilings inside and most houses are old and the tiled ceilings makes a good signal. The house I’m at (which is a rental) could be a house under $100,000 if purchasable and it has tiled ceilings in the dining room and all bedrooms and the upstairs bathroom. And it has office looking ceilings in the living room and Kitchen.

I'm not sure why, but my thinking is they put those in so they could lower the ceilings and save money on heating. If you took those ceiling tiles down, the original ceiling may be a foot or two higher.
