This guy is DREAMING, but a lot of the houses just like it sell for this price and people buy them knock down the house and build million dollar houses instead, This is about 10 minutes away from me, Which is the lake my boat is docked at

Seems an alright house

That's because the location of your property is less desirable than a waterfront property.

The house looks like if you push on it its gonna fall over

I should post when we sell my grandparents house, on st clair river. The house is huge but so old not worth renovating. But it'll fetch a high price, has one of the biggest boathouses on the river and you can't build new boathouses only maintain existing... so yea $$$

Yeah having some lake frontage tacks on quite a bit to the prices if it's a nice lake especially. Even just shared access sometimes.

Isnt Oakland where they were bashing up all the cars in that video a few weeks back?

I would expect he will get every penny of $399,999 he is asking for it. All of the waterfront property in and around the SE Michigan chain of lakes has been snapped up by savy investers many years ago.

BTW that price gets you a one bed flat in London.

a house like that in my 'hood' would be 1.2 mil and it's 25 miles from the water :1orglaugh

if you make your living in cyberspace, 400K will buy you a cliff top mansion and 100 meters of private white sand beach.

and you won't be listening to east oakland afro american boom boxes and dodging drive-by shootings.

but it won't be in the usa.

think outside the box if you desire beach property. the best beach property in NOT in north america.

looks good.. interior pictures please!

house prices are crazy..

jesus, terrible

My Buddy has a house on St Clair river and they have a nice boathouse there also. I would love to be out there

fuckkk thats really expensive...

The house doesnt matter. Havent you people realized it's LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION!! That kind of house here would be 1million+!

I have heard this before... very interesting :2 cents:

what country is this in?

now a days 400k for a house is nothing, worse houses in worse locations go for more than that...

phroarr fucking hell

$400K will get you a 2 to 3 bedroom Condo or Townhouse here in Los Angeles.

that house on the water by me would sell for $500k easy .. but it would be for the land also ... houses on the North Shore of Long Island are big money ..

Wait a second here, Oakland has waterfront? I thought it was a ghetto in LA. whats the waterfront mean, its facing rain storm drainage?

In Michigan
* Master bedroom is 11x09..... Pfff thats tiny for a master

It actually is a ghetto on the other side of the bay from San Francisco

Was just going to say something very similar :winkwink: Totally agree!

Been working on a project which is effectively as you describe - but got lots more going for it that we now take almost for granted. Bottom line - It's all about environment and quality lifestyle :winkwink:

not bad. something like that on cape cod would probaly go for twice that.

Crazy prices. But if people have the money and are willing to pay, it's their call...

Where do you live? That is considered cheap as fuck in Seattle :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

lol, in my area, for that house on an island in the mississippi river would run you $175k

Typical for this area, but it's really beautiful here. The scenery is breathtaking.

Very nice place Dagwolf! :thumbsup

One question tho in the above pic - is that a "natural cloud" and haze above the homes or toxic fumes from them hovering overhead? Suspect it's real - but ya never know :winkwink:

Pretty ugly place....

It's CANADA! There's no smog. There aren't even roaches here! :pimp :pimp

Not in this area.

NICE!!!!!! :thumbsup :winkwink:

Got some roaches here man - but they seem to be considered a "species" or something - along with the other 5000 critters :)

liar liar pants on fire

Does Canada have a SMOG problem?

Yes. In some areas of the country, smog is one of the most serious air quality problems we have. Our problems are not as severe as those in cities such as Los Angeles or Mexico City, but they warrant our immediate attention. The Canadian Ambient Air Quality Objective for ground-level ozone is 82 parts per billion. In several of Canada's major cities, summer ozone levels can exceed our air quality objective. For example, Windsor, Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver are cities where the ozone air quality objective is exceeded an average of 10 or more days in the summer.

Knock it down and build a new one, I'm sure you can up the selling price to 500k++ :)

for water front property thats not bad

....nice house!! :D

That house would be ideal in Cali.

Isnt South Carolina a red state? I think it would be scary to live in a state where everyone voted for Bush.

Yeah, that house sucks balls, but it could be a great long term investment if one did as you mentioned and rebuilt a new house on that lot.

many islands in the philippines provinces can provide this sort of deal.

you need a filipina wife to own as a foreigner.

php is about 50 to 1 dollar right now.

best bet the provinces of negros oriental, negros occidental, or palowan.
