At $44 a square foot, this house is priced so far below the zip median that the number almost reads wrong. The median sale price in this zip is $239,930. This one is $100,000. That gap is real, and it comes with 2,300 square feet, a 0.41-acre corner lot, a two-car garage, and a new roof installed this year.
The house was built in 1949, so you are not buying something crisp. You are buying something with age, and the interior condition is unknown from the listing data. The HVAC situation is not described, and that matters in Clovis where summers run hot. Before you fall in love with the price, you want eyes on the mechanicals and the interior. The plumbing has been serviced within the last five years, the roof is brand new, and those are two legitimate boxes checked. But there is work ahead here, and the price reflects it.
What the price also reflects: a wood-burning fireplace in the living area, mature trees in both the front and back yard, an extended driveway with room for multiple vehicles, and a large laundry and service room that could work as storage, a workshop, or extra workspace depending on what you need. The corner lot gives you yard on two sides and the kind of presence on a street that smaller lots just do not have.
The lot alone is worth thinking about. Four tenths of an acre in a residential area is room to breathe. Room for a dog, a garden, kids, a trailer, a project. The two-car garage adds covered storage that a lot of houses at this price point skip entirely.
For someone willing to put in the assessment work upfront and budget for what the interior turns out to need, this is the kind of house that is genuinely hard to find at this price in any market, let alone one where comparable homes are closing above asking.
