I wasn't exactly sure where to put this so I figured here was the best place? Please move it if someone feels it's more relevant in another category.
My SO and I currently live in Texas. We really loved Eastern Washington, at least the parts we saw (still haven't seen the West side). Our interests are to move back there and preferably buy a property with some land. Hoping at least 5 acres. We don't want to spend much over $130,000. Because of our price point, I know the West side is probably out of the question. I know we could find a lot more acres on the Eastern side. When we were living there we were over in the Okanogan Valley but far north near Canada. It was beautiful. We are more interested in being near Spokane seeing as that's the nearest large town. We figured we would be working in town to pay off the property in full.
The main thing I was wondering though is with the East side being the farming side... is there a decent market for selling things off a small property/homestead type place? Or are the markets heavily saturated? I know the West side (mainly the Seattle area) is where more people and larger incomes are and because of that there are a lot of markets. I just am worried that an area like Spokane near so many farming types means the market is hard. I understand that a part of it all is what you put into it and your ability to sell to customers, but I distinctly remember a lot of people even living right IN Spokane that hard large gardens, chickens, goats, even some cows! So it's just really had me wondering lately if it'd be reasonable to expect enough customers to make a decent income.
Thank you so much for your time and input!
