SOLD: 1018 Hillcrest, Durant, OK | Starter Home on 1 Acre Closes for $110,000

What made 1018 Hillcrest stand out?

When we first listed this home in early 2025, the big selling point was obvious the moment you pulled up: a full acre of land with a cozy, easy-to-manage house on it. Plenty of starter homes in Durant sit on small city lots. This one gave its next owner space for a garden, pets, a future workshop, or simply room to breathe.

Inside, the layout was simple and practical:

• 🏡 A bright living area with good natural light
• A functional kitchen with solid cabinet and counter space
• Two bedrooms that work for a small household, guests, or a home office
• A clean, well-kept bathroom

It wasn't a showpiece, and it didn't need to be. It was the kind of home a first-time buyer can move into, make their own over time, and build equity in.

Why do starter homes on land get so much interest?

Buyers at this price point are often choosing between a small in-town lot and a place farther out in the country. A home like Hillcrest splits the difference: close to Durant's schools, shopping, and services, but with a yard big enough to feel like a little piece of the country. That mix tends to draw steady attention, including from first-time buyers and people looking to downsize.

If that sounds like what you're after, keep an eye on homes under $100K, homes $100K–$200K, and properties under 5 acres in the area.

What did it take to get this home to the closing table?

Every sale has its own path. For a modest home on acreage, a few things matter most:

• Pricing it right for the market. Starter-home buyers watch their budgets closely, so the price has to make sense against nearby sales.
• Showing off the land. Photos and marketing focused on the full acre, not just the house, so buyers understood the value.
• Keeping financing on track. Buyers at this level often use FHA, VA, USDA, or other programs with appraisal requirements. Staying ahead of inspection and appraisal items keeps things moving.
• Patience and communication. Our sellers stayed flexible and responsive, and that made all the difference.

To our sellers: thank you for trusting us with your home. And to the buyers: welcome home. We hope that acre gives you years of good memories.
