its so hard to find what your looking for… we’re looking for a home in the south hills and has to have a garage. we’re looking at around $60,000 and under. we went to go look at a house the other week since my girlfriend’s friend is a realitor, $49,500 dead end street in castle shannon, nice neighborhood, ranch with a garage. exterior looked pretty nice and once we walked in WOW. after looking around the place I was ready to put in a bid, BUT, the fucking website never updated their info… it was already sold for $49,500 and it was remodeled a little, the new asking price is $129,000. what a kick in the balls lol few weeks later another house on the same street went up at the same price, I told them I wanted to check it out before the same guy that flipped the other house got his hands on it. well he’s already grabbed it up… Im about ready to buy a doublewide and toss it on a foundation on a nice peice of land my aunt has in finleyville and call it a day ---

then you are defeating the purpose of buying a home… doublewides aren’t exactly an investment. ---

> we’re looking for a home in the south hills and has to have a garage. we’re looking at around $60,000 and under. No offense- but if you’re looking for a “decent” house in a “nice” neighborhood, you’re going to need to spend a lot more than $60,000. I really think you should consider waiting another 2-3 years and saving some money, so you can up your range to ~$100,000 (at least). Two years ago my in-laws bought a nice, albeit small, 2-bedroom ranch with a garage out here in McCandless for $89,000…so it can be done. ---

Those guys have a ton of nice cars. Ford gt, cobra r , etc… I bought my house on Bluemont for 65000. It’s not a great house, but the neighborhood is great, it’s a dead end street, and it’s close to everything. ---

I refuse to buy in Alleghany county though. I am thinking about buying another house in a couple of years and I see this also. I will not buy in Allegheny county and want 5-10 acres of land. For the size of house I want, $250k is about the going rate. I can’t wait to see what it is in a few years. ☹ ---

I refuse to buy in Alleghany county though. don’t get me wrong, allegheny taxes are extremely high compared to other counties in the area. Just wait though, i don’t think it’ll be too far off until some of the outlaying counties take a look around at all of the $250k+ houses that are being built and start taxing these people just the same if not more. ---

They don’t have to… they actually have a tax base in the outlying counties and not as much local government to support. not as many idiot democrats taking out money ---
