At $66 per square foot, this 1919 house in Julesburg is priced about 31% below the zip code median. In a market where half the listings have taken price cuts and homes are sitting for nearly three months, $90,000 for 1,361 square feet with a detached garage and a fenced yard is a number worth pausing on.
The house has been standing for over a hundred years, and inside it reads that way. Paneling, carpet, older cabinetry, older flooring throughout. The finishes are dated, and the seller is not pretending otherwise. This is an as-is sale, which means the price reflects what's here now, not what it could be after work. For someone with patience and a willingness to update things in stages, that's the whole point.
The layout is main-level and functional. There's a living room, a separate dining or flex area, main-floor laundry, and a kitchen with decent counter space. Two bedrooms, one bath with a walk-in shower. Nothing here is going to surprise you. It's a modest, workable floor plan in an old house that has been kept clean.
Outside, there's a fenced yard with mature trees, which takes years to have and is easy to undervalue when you're looking at photos. The detached garage is the honest problem. It's described as rough, it's being sold as-is, and it will need attention before it's reliably usable. Budget for it.
Julesburg is a small market with thin sales volume, five transactions in the last month, so comps are directional rather than precise. That cuts both ways. It means less competition if you're buying, and less clarity on what you're buying into if you're planning to sell again soon.
What $90,000 gets you here is a 105-year-old house with a yard, trees, storage space, and room to work on it over time without bleeding out financially in the first month. That's the case for it.
