Just where in Texas are you seeing 10 acres with house a barn for $250,000? I can’t find a decent lot within 40 miles from Houston for less than $35K. And I said “decent” lot.
Well, not near Houston, that’s for sure...
Most of what I have seen like that is in west Texas or the panhandle, or in east and southeast Oklahoma.
Have you looked south down 288 toward Angleton? Used to be able to pick up a sizeable amount of property for a pretty good price. Prices in Houston are getting unbelievable and it’s getting so crowded that a lot of people are trying to get out of the city so it’s driving prices in the suburbs out of sight.
That’s what happens when you have 250,000 new people move in in the last two years. Houston’s housing market has been more or less affordable until now. Plus the City of Houston wants to jack up all the valuations so they can collect more taxes. It’s a no win situation for those of us who have been here for a long time. We could sell our homes and make some money but they we would need to move somewhere way outside the city where property is more affordable.
We sold our 8.33 acre Texas lot for $65,000 a year ago. With a garage and a pond.
