Cheap Housing 2011

(See the 2012 Updates here: The Cheapest Homes in 2012.)

This page on cheap housing is a continuation of the May 2011 update on cheap homes for sale around the United States. Many of the cities and towns on this list have been covered on the site before, but the most recent data and prices are here. We start this page in the south, but there is currently cheap housing all over the country.

Sioux Falls, SD

With a population of more than 155,000, Sioux Falls is big enough to have what you need but still has cheap housing. As of May 2011 there are more than a thousand homes under $80,000 and 20 of those are under $50,000.
