Auburn is expensive thanks mostly to the school district and Opelika is cheaper. But Beer just moved there so he knows more.
I live on the north side of town at the bottom of Forsyth Co. I like it here. I really like the county. There is plenty of stuff here, you can pretty much hit exit 13 off GA 400 and go north.
Zillow is really out of date and just flat wrong.
Advice that will save a buyer at least 15 to 25% ... find a Delta guy who's flipping houses in the area and who does pretty good volume. Most will provide excellent, free, advice.
Be careful with Real Estate Agents. There are some good ones, but most are just trying to make a sale, any sale, and at any cost. I'm constantly surprised at how inexpert they are at Real Estate. There is a lot of ways to save money ... like managing your Title Insurance during the buy that can save several percentage points. It adds up.
