I Am Amazed How Cheap Some East Coast Beachfront Houses Are

On the water behind the outer barrier islands in North Carolina: 6 bedroom, 4 bath, 4864 sq. ft., built in 1824. $279,000.  On a lake.

A little ways inland near Newbern 6 bed, 4 bath, $225,000. 

With the current real estate madness you could buy two houses for one Boise home.  Although my recollection is that N.C. has too many Democrats.
