There are homes available in Orange County for under 200K, but the commute with traffic may push a little over the hour mark. The homes may need some work, and may not be exaclty where you would want them to be. But hey, beggers can't be choosers and everyone has to start somewhere.

You just have to look and you'll find them.

Good Luck!

Um... any home selling for around $200K in Orange County is needing ALOT of work not a little. We just bought in the Montgomery area and it was tough to find a starter home in decent condition for anything less than $270K. Of course that doesn't mean in this market there aren't some real steals out there... you have to look hard for them. Port Jervis area has some homes with great potential below $250. It's just the neighboorhood that may lack potential.

Have faith though. This list prices are creeping down. Downward pressure is what got us into our home.

Maybe a townhouse. We got ours for less than 200K not too long ago. It did need a little work though, nothing we couldn't do ourselves. and no HOA fee. New WIndsor area- we do however, share the schools with Newbrugh. Don't know if your looking for great schools.

for that price you have to go a little more north. Monroe is a little under 1 hour but not for the price. and great schools.
