The Benefit of Buying a Fixer Upper Today

Infographic comparing median listing prices: $436,250 for single-family homes and $200,000 for fixer-uppers.

Thinking about becoming a homeowner but worried about the price tag? You might want to give fixer-uppers a second look!

The median price for a typical single-family home is around $436,000 — but the average fixer-upper? About $200,000. That’s nearly half the price for a home with serious potential.

Sure, it might take some elbow grease (and a few weekends with a paintbrush), but for the right buyer, that price gap could be the key to finally owning a home.
