When it comes to affording a home, it’s all about location. Home prices have been increasing more in the last few years than ever, along with increased moving costs and the influx of people moving from bigger cities to smaller areas. While in some areas you can still find reasonable prices for a home, other states and bigger cities have seen a boom in asking prices for homes. With home values so costly in some parts of the country, you just may be able to find a four- or five-bedroom home for a cool $500K.
What else can you buy around the country with $500K? We took a look at homes in each state on Realtor.
