Yeah I love looking at houses there. Though Manhattan is my favorite, I don't think you can get anything for 150k at all.
I am going to put my condo on the market for 140k (after I put some more work into it, of course) and I think I'll get 125-130K for it. It would be great if I could get a house about this size and in that sort of shape for a price like that. It would mean I could afford to build a garage and get the kitchen the way we wanted.
Yay! You are going to be all settled into your new life before you know it.
The disparity is crazy. I just looked up the assessment value for my house, which is similar in size and a little smaller in square footage than yours, still no garage/carpet, and it's almost half a million dollars. And I think that is a low estimate.
