Upstate NY is a very under-rated in many dimensions when it comes to the outdoors and the cost of housing is almost comically low. This is what $125K gets you: https://www.redfin.com/NY/Rochester/138-Mount-Airy-Dr-14617/home/72562197
NFR Any actual good online "black friday" or "cyber monday" deals you found?

Yeah, that would be at least $1 million out here in Redmond! One of the many reasons I'm willing to leave the PNW, at least for a while!
Looks like the kitchen and bathroom needs updated. That can be done with the savings on the mortgage. BTW, the snow drifts are close to 12 feet tall. Had relatives (by marriage) in Syracuse, New York.

and those east coast heating bills..
a wood burning insert in that fireplace would be the ticket!…

We had a Vermont Castings (pre-sale of company to China) catalytic wood-burning insert in the fireplace of our Vermont house. Unfortunately, the thermostat was between the fireplace and our bedrooms down the hall. So the fire heat kept the furnace from kicking on (forced hot water heat), and the bedrooms were freezing. So we did not end up using it much. Fuel oil costs were huge compared to here.
Growing up in Vermont, we mostly heated with wood stoves. But it really helps if the house was designed to be heated with wood.
Hey man, at least in our neck of the woods (we’ll maybe mine), houses are bought online—sight unseen!
the Year One Covid SF techies suddenly free to work remote, unleashed on Bend, buying without ever first stepping into the house...
moreso it's investors (vacation rentals and flippers) buying things up site unseen.
REIT's far and away the largest purchaser of single family homes, buyng up large chunks of all new housing developments, same around the nation in the 'hot spots.'
Wall Street has purchased hundreds of thousands of single-family homes since the Great Recession. Here's what that means for rental prices
Corporations backed by private equity groups such as Blackstone and Pretium Partners bought tens of thousands of homes across the U.S. Sun Belt.

The amount you save on a single monthly housing payment would cover an awful lot of BTUs!
All of the downsides of living in the NE are real, but when I was touring around the area during a 3 year stint in the NE, Upstate NY in particular seemed under-rated relative to a lot of the rest of the NE - at least in terms of outdoor pursuits. If someone put a gun to my head and made me live there I'd find a place with easy access to cross-country skiing and snowmobiling so I could enjoy the abundant snowfall.
I'd also start planning hella trips up to Quebec to partake of all of the outdoor goodies on offer there....
Orvis is doing a 25% off almost everything that isn’t fishing related.
