Back in the 80s my husband and I bought our first home for less than $100,000. Hard to believe you can still find similar deals today in places like Carlin or Ely.
I’m on Social Security and a small pension, so hearing that Nevada has no state income tax really caught my attention. Every dollar counts when you’re on a fixed income.
My daughter lives in Las Vegas and pays more in rent each year than some of these homes cost outright. It’s eye-opening to see the price difference just an hour away.
I heard there are still U.S. towns with homes under $150K—thought that was just a dream
It’s not just the home price—utilities there are low too, around $150 a month
Add groceries at about $250 a month, and the total cost is still way cheaper than most big cities
Hard to believe some U.S. towns still have homes under $150K, while other states are way out of reach
The nice part is utilities are low too, just around $140–$160 a month
Groceries are manageable too, about $220–$250 a month if you shop local markets
All together under $1,200 a month—sounds doable even for retirees living on Social Security
