inexpensive real estate in NH (Concord: apartment, foreclosure, condos)

Is there anyplace in NH where a small home/condo would cost less than $75k and isn't a dump? Slim chance I'm thinking but you never know...Thanks

If you find something here for 75K, it will only if its a seasonal property, or just a barn. A buildable lot costs at least and sometimes more. zoning regulations came through the '70s, forcing minimum lot sizes. Literally every community in N.H. has zoning. Even wet + undesirable lots are protected by wetlands laws. theres No such thing as affordable living here. Mobile homes are really only allowed in parks. There sometimes is a mobile on its own lot that is guaranteed to be at least made in the '70's, which must have been plunked down there prior to zoning, and is usually on a less desirable area of town. costs of a mobile on its own lot rivals that of a stick built home. [ so why would you buy one?]

No.

Define "dump".
Seriously, at this moment, throughout the state there nearly 500 active properties listed between 10,000 and 75,000. Many of these are mobile homes, some on their own land, some on rented land (in parks), some are single family homes, and some are condos.

Keep in mind that the further north - west you go, the lower the prices. Along with that low price is a decrease of available jobs/services. As you get into southern NH, you can find plenty of garden (single floor) style condos (many were formerly apartment buildings) Even as far south as Concord, there are at least a few condo units available within the price you mentioned.

There are some nice mobile home communities where you can get a 3 bed 2 bath for under $75k easily. Obviously, you won't get any land as it is rented, but if you're looking for a home which isn't a dump, but is fairly inexpensive, that's the way I'd go (and actually have gone).

You can get a really nice home up here in Northern NH for under $100,000 but then again, there are no decent paying jobs if you need one.

very simply put - NO.....


you might want to check with the banks re: foreclosure properties - but even then, the back taxes owed are usually 3 years worth.

[Valerie C]

Please check everything. Each property and foreclosure is different. Don't assume that just because you read it here, that it is absolutely true. Of the 7 foreclosure properties that I've viewed with clients in the last week, 1 had back taxes owed (from the most recent July 2008 bill) and it's expected to be paid before the next tax bill is mailed. However, as I said above, every property needs to be considered on it's own merits. Getting on a first-name basis with the folks at the title company will go a long way
