🏡 PAYING AROUND $1,400/MONTH IN RENT?

Take a look at what $139,900 can buy you in Washburn.

A 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath rental can easily run around $1,400/month. At 200 S. Francis, homeownership may be closer to that monthly number than you think.

An FHA-style example:

💰 Purchase Price: $139,900
💵 3.5% Down: approx. $4,897
🏡 2025 Real Estate Taxes: only $2,618/year — about $218/month

Depending on financing, insurance and the buyer’s qualifications, a total monthly housing payment could potentially fall around $1,300–$1,375/month.

Compare that with renting:

RENT — around $1,400/month
➡️ Around $1,400/month
➡️ Rent can increase at renewal
➡️ No equity being built
➡️ Limited ability to customize
➡️ Less control over your long-term housing
➡️ Possible pet, parking or other added fees

OWN — potentially around the same or less
✅ 3 bedrooms
✅ 1.5 baths
✅ 1,432 sq. ft.
✅ Large 75' x 150' yard
✅ Storage shed
✅ HVAC replaced in 2021
✅ Water heater replaced in 2024
✅ LOW real estate taxes
✅ Immediate possession
✅ Opportunity to build equity over time

If you’re renting because you assume buying would cost substantially more every month, this home deserves a closer look.

You may be closer to owning than you think.
