If you like a January bargain then all of these homes have a starting guide price of £50,000 or under - and one even comes with the option to buy the neighbour's house too.
Of course, at this price there is inevitably renovation work to do, guide prices that may go higher. But if you don't mind putting in a bit of work - or paying for someone else to do it - then you can become the owner of a property at a knockdown price.
Aberdare: £29,995+
Currently this the cheapest house on the market in Wales. A cute one bed bungalow in the grounds of a Victorian mansion and its garden would make most detached homeowners' envious.
There's a patio area, room for a summer house, a corner pergola dedicated to relaxing in the sun, plus a large lawn. The only downside is the garden is shared with two other properties.
However, that's the only place you would have to share - the home itself the only separate one the grounds of Glanynys House in Cwmbach, Aberdare .
This substantial Victorian mansion has been converted into apartments and this bungalow is the added bonus in the garden.
Inside this sweetest of single-storey semi-detached abodes there is a lounge large enough to also accommodate a dining area that looks out onto the garden.
There may be an opportunity to create a set of French doors from the lounge out to the garden but this would of course be subject to achieving planning permission and relocating of an external pipe.
The separate kitchen can be found at the front of the property and the only bedroom and family bathroom overlook the garden are located at the rear.
Take a quick tour of the whole bungalow and garden here:

Anglesey: £38,000
This home has been described by the estate agent "as in need of complete renovation inside and is sold as vacant". And there also is a sitting tenant in the garden that a new owner will have to tackle - Japanese Knotweed.
The current owner has undertaken a report to establish an approximate cost to permanently remove this nuisance plant. Over a four year period the cost has been estimated as in the region of £3,000.
Still, with a lot of TLC there's still plenty of pluses. For instance, this two bedroom terrace in the village of Llanerchymedd is in easy walking distance to local amenities and also the beautiful surrounding countryside.
The estate agent also states that the house offers a first-time buyer or property investor a chance to expand the property too.

Pembroke: £50,000
For anyone who gets excited by a multi-buy offer, this run down character property in this Pembrokeshire town is for sale but so is its neighbour for £60k. But if you buy them both at the same time the bulk buy price is £100,000 (handy if you want to pick your next door neighbour).
It could be an ideal buy for multiple generations of a family or a buy to let proposition. Be warned though, both cottages need a full programme of refurbishment to make them habitable again.
It is thought the cottages date back to the 18th century and that at least one has been used in the past as a shop, a studio and maybe even a pub.
For further information contact Guy Thomas & Co at their Pembroke office on 01646 682342.
Pontycymer, Bridgend: £50,000
From the front, this mid-terrace house in a valley town between Blaengarw and Bridgend looks pretty standard.
But appearances can be deceptive as it has three-storeys and lovely valley views - both of which are hidden from the front view.
On the middle floor there is a hallway and large lounge.
And down the stairs to the basement, there is a dining room and kitchen to discover - which opens onto a private rear garden with views to the valley and hills beyond.
Up to the third floor and there are two bedrooms and a bathroom.

The white-washed offers a new owner an open-plan downstairs with a lounge area, kitchen zone and access into the little courtyard garden at the rear.

Swansea: £50,000+
The guide price of this Swansea three bedroom home in the Bonymaen area is very tempting but as this property is being sold by conditional online auction it could go for more than £50k.
Bidding opens on January 17 and ends February 7 and it is likely to be sold for more than this opening minimum bid.
The property initially looks to be a simple make-over from a 1970s interior design house to a modern home.
However SDL Auctions, who are selling the property via online property auction on behalf of estate agent Belvoir, strongly advises viewing the home first.
Downstairs the end of terrace has two generous reception rooms leading to a kitchen / breakfast room and cloakroom.
Upstairs there are three good sized bedrooms and a family bathroom that could be extended into a storage space to create room for a walk-in shower.
Just don't stumble in from the pub on a Friday evening and bid on the house if you don't want to buy it, as all bids are legally binding.
To find out more about bidding on this house, contact Belvoir on 01792 461929.
