If you purchased an existing 2,000 square foot, traditional brick ranch home (less than 15 years old), well-maintained, with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and 2-car attached garage, you would pay on an average between $90,000 to $120,000.

While the Little Wabash River runs through the east portion of Carmi, the majority of housing in Carmi does not fall in the flood zone area which requires flood insurance.
