Any way to see what they offer without signing up? I tried to check it out but it makes you create an account with all kinds of info before showing you what they offer.

I grew up poor (and white) in Vermont. While I could never afford to snowboard or ski growing up, I didn’t feel like I wouldn’t belong out there simply due to the color of my skin. It is incredibly myopic as a white person to try and say that there’s no problem here. It’s unfair for us to say how someone else feels without having lived that experience ourselves. We need to listen and be open minded.

You’ll understand better when you start looking into those homes priced in that range. What towns/areas are you looking into? Could be priced lower based on the neighborhood. Could be that there are issues they aren’t advertising.

For example, we bought our house in 2019 (before housing markets went crazy). 2k square footage, needed lots of things done that you wouldn’t see on a search online. It’s a starter home. We paid $350k. Our house is now valued at around $575 due to the housing market insanity. So u/cosmicsurffarmer is correct.
