Buying a house nowadays can cost a ton of time and money, especially depending on where you look. Trying to find a home for under $200,000 in some places, like San Francisco<\/a>, is downright impossible, and trying to find a large home for your money in places like New York City<\/a> is almost unheard of. Still, it\u2019s possible to find some good bargains in specific areas, if you know where to look.
\nSo, where should you look? Luck for you, the Movoto Real Estate<\/a> Blog set out to find the states where you can get the most house for your money. We looked at home listings and found houses with high square footage, bedrooms, and extra perks, all that cost merely $200,000. The states with the best homes for that price were:
\n1. Wisconsin<\/a>
\n2. Alabama<\/a>
\n3. Idaho<\/a>
\n4. West Virginia<\/a>
\n5. Florida<\/a>
\n6. Colorado<\/a>
\n7. Montana<\/a>
\n8. Utah<\/a>
\n9. Tennessee<\/a>
\n10. Indiana<\/a>
\nFeel free to see how much square footage $200,000 can get you in each state by exploring our interactive map above. For now, let\u2019s take a look at our top 10 for $200,000 houses, and see what makes each one a great deal and a great home.<\/p>\n

1. 2215 Linden Ave, Janesville, WI<\/h2>\n

As far as getting space and perks for your $200,000, this is really your best option. With 4,713 square feet, and five bedrooms, you\u2019ll have lots of room to breathe in this lovely ranch-style home.
\nIf you\u2019re worried about those cold Janesville<\/a> winters, fear not, because this place has heated tile floors throughout the main living area and basement. Top that all off with a separate one bedroom mother-in-law-apartment on this half acre lot, and this deal is looking sweeter by the second.<\/p>\n

2. 325 Jasmine Dr, Madison, AL<\/h2>\n

Situated on 0.3 acres. this Madison<\/a> home had so much to offer. With five bedrooms, three baths, and 4,384 square feet to go around, this is one spacious living arrangement for even big families to enjoy.
\nThe kitchen alone is lovely, with granite counter tops, and it\u2019s fully stocked with appliances and a refrigerator. There is a second family room upstairs, and a fireplace for when you just want to curl up with a good book. Did we mention it has his and her walk-in closets, because that\u2019s definitely a perk if you need more space than your other half is willing share with you.<\/p>\n

3. 1622 W 81st N, Idaho Falls, ID<\/h2>\n

On top of the almost two acres of land and seven, yes seven, bedrooms this home has in store for you, this place is located in lovely Idaho Falls.
\nThe stone floors in some of the rooms are classic and homey, and there\u2019s plenty of storage throughout the house. Outside, there’s space for livestock and gardening, if you\u2019re the green thumb type, and there\u2019s a two car garage to either use as a personal hangout spot or to put the cars to sleep at night in.<\/p>\n

4. 9 Birch Ave, Wheeling, WV<\/h2>\n

This is kind of the American dream home in nutshell. Not only will you be living in the fine little city of Wheeling, but you\u2019ll also be in a very walkable neighborhood near great schools for the little ones.
\nThe house itself is full of surprises. A basement rec-room, five bedrooms, a cozy fireplace, and a backyard big enough for kids or dogs to play and grow in all make this a real deal. After all, getting 3,721 square feet for your money never really seems like a bad plan.<\/p>\n

5. 148 Pacific Ave, Clermont, FL<\/h2>\n

Want your own expansive kitchen, huge master bedroom, and koi pond in the backyard? Then look no further, because you\u2019ve found the place in Clermont<\/a>.
\nBesides the 3,625 square feet, this home had granite counters, wood flooring, a fenced in backyard, and plenty of closet space to go around. It even had enough bedrooms for the whole family, considering it had four, as well as 2.5 bathrooms.<\/p>\n

6. 1508 8th St, Greeley, CO<\/h2>\n

While you can easily convert this Greeley<\/a> home into a duplex if you so choose, you can also live in the massive 3,596 square foot home as it comes. That is, if you really need five bedrooms for just yourself, and who doesn\u2019t?
\nAs far as the rest of the house is concerned, there\u2019s so much to explore. A great basement is a perfect spot to start before moving on to the laundry room, large kitchen, and private deck out back. It\u2019s definitely a home worth the money.<\/p>\n

7. 122 W Carter Ave, Philipsburg, MT<\/h2>\n

This home offers the opportunity for buyers to live in uptown historic Philipsburg, which is a pretty great perk all on its own. The proximity to Flint Creek and Georgetown Lake doesn\u2019t exactly hurt either.
\nThe perks only continue, with 3,456 square feet, five bedrooms, a finished basement, a large backyard, separate garage, and more. Or, if you just need to relax, you can rest in a large garden tub in one of three bathrooms.<\/p>\n

8. 1801 E Church Way, Eagle Mountain, UT<\/h2>\n

This Eagle Mountain<\/a> home is simply huge, no two ways about it. The 3,376 square feet alone are impressive, but the seven bedrooms and four bathrooms that make up those square feet are simply stunning.
\nThe kitchen here looks new and rather fancy, and the master bedroom gives you plenty of space to decorate and relax in. The living room has lots of room to be creative with, and the backyard has newly growing trees and extra storage space to use to your heart\u2019s content.<\/p>\n

9. 2448 Brewer Rd, Crossville, TN<\/h2>\n

For a little classic style, this colonial country home in Crossville<\/a> can\u2019t be beat. It contains 3,200 square feet, four bedrooms, and 2.5 bathrooms spread across two stories.
\nIf you\u2019re still looking for space, you\u2019re sure to find it here. Three garages, seven fenced in acres, and several outbuildings give lots of room for you to roam and explore at your leisure. One of the bathrooms even contains a walk-in tub for the convenience of anyone differently abled.<\/p>\n

10. 640 Woodruff Place Dr. E, Indianapolis<\/h2>\n

Getting to live in Indianapolis<\/a>, the largest city in the state, is just one plus of living in this very pretty home. The 3,192 square feet and four bedrooms also mean that this is a perfect home for families or just those that need a little extra space.
\nA floor plan that lends itself to natural lighting and stunning architecture are additional perks to living in this home, as is the attic, lovely staircases, and the beautiful neighborhood in Woodruff Place. The fact that it\u2019s so affordable is just one more reason to love this house.<\/p>\n

A Bargain Doesn\u2019t Always Mean Low Quality<\/h2>\n

As you can see with some of these homes, $200,000 just goes farther in certain places. So if you have a budget you\u2019re trying to stick to, you might want to check around these more affordable states before settling down. And if you\u2019re not quite sure where to start looking, we can help with that. We sell houses, after all, and we hear that Wisconsin is very pretty this time of year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
