What can I get in Wichita for that much $$$?

Many times I find folks coming here from areas are surprised by how much home they can get for their money here. I thought it'd be fun to do a quick review and show you some of what you can get in various price ranges here in Wichita!

What can I get for $50,000?
You could get this 1940's starter home in South-East Wichita, all brick, no basement or garage.

* 2 beds
* 1 bath
* 1001 sq ft

What about $100,000?
Or this 1978 ranch home on the west-side with fenced yard, and by the park:

*3 beds
* 2 baths
* 1600 sq ft
* 1 car attached garage
* Finished basement

Wow, how about $200,000?
Try a 2008 West-side home with tons of room in a new subdivision:
*5 beds
*3 baths
*2590 sq ft
*3 car attached garage
*Finished basement
*Fireplace

Well, what if I've got $300,000 to spend?
Or maybe a 1984 built estate size home with a walk-out basement and room to lose each other in and on the lake!

*5 beds
*3 1/2 baths
*4322 sq ft
*2 car attached garage
*Full Finished Basement
*Fireplace

Let's go hog wild, here's a $500,000 home for sale in Wichita!
Check out this 1996 built custom home 20 minutes outside town, with over 68 acres of land and 2 ponds:

*6 beds
*5 1/2 baths
*4083 Sq Ft
* 3 car attached garage and detached workshop
*Inground pool
*2 Fireplaces
*Granite countertops

And for grins, here's what you can get for a cool $1,000,000 in Wichita, KS!

A gorgeous one-of-a kind home on a rare acre lot in College Hill - the place to be!

Greg - Like Seriously? like you should like totally like do that! :) I thought it was neat, and I also get this question often, and of course there's the HGTV show that does something comparing the same price in various parts of the country. People are always happy with how much house they can get here when they come from out of town!

The $50K home looks A LOT like my first home, tho I had a 1 car garage. I have the title abstract from that first home!!!

Sherry - Thanks, stuck at home with the sleeping kid gives me time to blog!

Greg - It does have a 1 car detached garage! :) I have my closing papers from my first home, but that was just 4 years ago. :)

Hey, Sheree. I like what you've done here. Originally I thought you'd be comparing Wichita to, say, San Diego -- LOL.

Triple those prices and you might be able to find something here in San Diego County.

Russel - I had thought about it, but I wouldn't know what was normal out there and wouldn't want to abuse someone's IDX to accomplish that. ;)

Jim - Yikes. Yikes. Yikes. I'd have to move in with you guys!

The good part of it is that folks are pleasantly surprised when they move here. for some reason though, they get upset when they sell, forgetting their good deal. I've had so many of the "Well back where I lived, I could have sold it for XXXXXXXXXXX"

Hey Sheree, Love the post - it gives us such a great idea of what prices look like in your area. I would have to stay your prices are indeed cheaper than here in Florida. Again, great job!

Denise - absolutely crazy! My hubby and I watch some of those shows, and even the before price on the flipped properties seems crazy for us!

Sandy - We're cheap! LOL. :) Not paying for the Florida sunshine, which we sure could use right now!
