The price per square foot is what stops you first. At $122, this place is sitting about 41% below the zip median of $206. That gap is wide enough to mean something even in a thin comp pool.
What you get for it is a solid all-brick house on a 0.38-acre corner lot in Everton. Brick construction from 1985 means the exterior is holding up without much drama. No system ages are listed, which is worth a conversation with the seller, but the structure itself is not the concern here. It's the kind of house that takes maintenance rather than demanding it.
Inside is 1,230 square feet split into two bedrooms and two full baths. The garage was converted into a family room, which gives the layout a bonus living space that the square footage alone doesn't fully explain. There's a pellet stove in there, which is useful if winters get cold and you want to keep the heating bill down. The kitchen has an L-shaped island with seating, and the entryway is big enough that the agent mentions it twice as a potential den or dining room. Make of that what you will.
Solar panels are on the roof and listed as negotiable with terms, meaning you might be able to negotiate them into the sale or you might not. Find out before you make an offer. If they convey, that's a meaningful offset on monthly costs. If they don't, factor that in.
The 8x20 storage shed stays. The corner lot gives you more yard than a standard in-town lot, and access to Highway 160 is easy. Stockton Lake is a few miles out, so if fishing or the water is part of the picture, this is within range.
The market here has seen a third of listings take price reductions, which tells you buyers have room to push. Median days on market is around 42. Nothing is moving fast.
At $149,900, this is a two-bath brick house with a big bonus room, outdoor storage, possible solar, and a large lot. That combination at this price is not something you run into often.
