Because the house not only needs to be decent in price but should have enough bathrooms and rooms to compensate for the family size and needs and should be in a decent area. The majority of the houses that go from $30,000 and under around my area have only three-four bedrooms and only one-two bathrooms. And some of the areas they're placed in aren't exactly satisfactory in regards to crime rates and in my case don't exactly convenience transportation to our current schools.
The houses that do though are over $30,000... Oh my god. The area I live in, I could expect to pay $200k+ for a 3 bedroom 1 bathroom home. In the wayyyyy outer suburbs. And the rooms aren't big.
The house I live in would have cost around $160-$200k to buy, (I don't own it) and it's 3 very small bedrooms, (I can just fit a QS bed in mine with little walking room) 1 bathroom. That's standard for the whole area. And the area... I have drug dealers up the road, I have a family of seven next door who have domestic arguments nearly every day.
I wanna go live where you guys are! Housing is so cheap!!!!
