Starter Homes Where have they all Gone?

Not to worry, the New World order said in the future we will own nothing and be happy. I can hardly wait to see what the new definition of happy is going to be.

You can imagine what new construction would cost for even a home of this size, when existing homes (even "fixer uppers")are going for prices like this.

Up until recently it was actually cheaper to build new if you werent going 4500 sq feet 5 bed 3 bath type construction in central alaska.

G'day my Resident ATS Reporter! You're always on top of the stories every day. Every darn day! Took a bit to realize your efforts...now I look for ya!!! I digress...

We hv log cabin in Mio/Huron National Forest. AFrames still abundant, and popular.

The costs used to be under like $15k...you put it together...I really don't know now..but I thought...now with lumber prices..I thought starter frame- homes are around $25-40k now.

Home Depot (some)...now sell starter tiny homes. Pretty cool...cya...

What we need to realize is we don't have a housing shortage...we have an illegal immigration problem. Take care of that and magically the housing shortage disappears

I knew illegals impacted housing but didn’t realize how much.

Right now they estimate there are between 10 and 12 million illegals in the US. It’s probably more.
It is estimated there is about 4 million housing units lacking…
So if we could just half the illegal population that would free up a tremendous amount of housing.

Illinois has cheap houses for sell as well. This is where I will probably be moving to soon. So it's good news for me.
