We’re accustomed to featuring enormous and extravagant mansions, but sometimes we like to zero in on the bargain end of the real estate market. Times like right now! While million-dollar mansions are pure fantasy for most buyers, houses priced under $100,000 are way more real.
As in, we could see ourselves really buying any of the 10 homes we’ve featured below. While none of them are brand-new, they won’t leave a crater in your bank account and they all boast crazy amounts of curb appeal.
If you’re willing to put in a little work and make a few sacrifices (no chef’s kitchen!), the affordable abodes we’ve pinpointed merit a closer look. For buyers in search of a deal—feast your eyes on these frugal gems.
