$400K Budget Homebuying In The U.S.

We compiled a list of homes you can find for around $400K across the United States. See how Wilmington, N.C. compares.

It’s interesting to shop for homes in Wilmington and around the country, comparing the different types of properties you can purchase at different price points. Ever wondered about the type of home you could purchase with a $400K budget across the U.S.?

We looked around Wilmington, the West coast, D.C., Florida, and a few more places to see what a $400K budget could get you. There is such low inventory on the market and when you remove new construction, there was not much left. In Los Angeles, California there were a few condos for sale, but as for single-family homes, we found only two listings between $400K and $410K.

Check out what we found around the country:

Washington, D.C.: A $407K studio apartment

We found this no bedroom (the main living area has a pull-out bed), one bathroom studio apartment in Washington, D.C. The apartment itself is simple, but comes with unique amenities like a bike garage and shared rooftop terrace.
