Time was a few years ago if a someone called me and said they wanted to find a Santa Cruz home for sale under $300,000 I would not have been able to help them - there simply were no single family homes priced under $300,000.

With the adjustment in the Real Estate market, there are now homes for sale in Santa Cruz under $300,000.  For many people this is a much more affordable and realistic price to spend on a home without feeling stressed or overextending yourself.  Go here to see a current list of Santa Cruz homes for sale under $300,000
