A lot of House to buy

June 11, 2012 ·

With the national median home value at $147,000, it’s no big surprise that when you jump to a $450,000 price point, there’s a lot of house to be had. At least that’s what we found when we went coast-to-coast (and in between) to compile a list of homes listed for sale just around $450,000.

And, it turns out, you don’t have to be too far off the beaten track to land some pretty grand homes. We tracked down gems near some big cities, meaning you don’t have to forego location to get your fair share of house.
