It should be around 70K, so I suspect there is something wrong with it that needs a repair. But the exodus from almost all urban areas has meant that there are WAY more houses in the city than people who want them. The cheaper suburbs are in the 120K range.
Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

Cute house, Sophia! And, yes, by all means, add another zero on it and you'd have a house in my neighborhood.

Because books.
Oh wow, Sophia, that is adorable.
Many, many houses like that are available where I live, at that price, but no one (in their right mind) wants to live here. For many reasons.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ooh, that is charming! But the kitchen must be busted -- there are no pictures of it.

What a lovely house. I especially like the wooden floors. The 1-bath aspect seems less fun, but at that price I expect one could put another bathroom in, assuming there aren't other problems with the place.

Sigh. I can't help but think that the thing that's wrong isn't the price of *that* house. It's the price of housing in LA (or NY or Seattle or SF etc) that's out of whack.

Nice house ... at that price, in DC, you might be able to get a parking space.

I could see a house like that going for that price in Kansas City, but only if was located in the right, or wrong depending on your perspective, place.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Wow. That's about half what you'd get for a house like that here, and Northeast Arkansas isn't exactly the land of skyrocketing housing costs.
I wonder what the horrible downside is that's making the owners sell it for a song ? Crumbling foundation or rotted timbers might be a dealbreaker, but psychotic former occupant about to be paroled might be worth taking a chance on...
