Portland, Maine is like it's own state. Maine's biggest metro area is wildly different from it's neighboring cities and towns, with a real estate market that can only be described as bananas. Auburn, still arguably a metro area with a downtown and plenty of restaurants, is still very different from Portland in the area of real estate. Your money in Auburn can get you a lot more than it can in Portland.

If you have a house shopping budget of $130,000, here's what that money will buy you in Auburn.

It's also a single family home, but you won't find a single thing inside, unless you're shopping for a dusty shell of a structure. Yikes. It's not even financeable so I hope your budget is all in cash.
