Was flipping through the channels and came across this house buying show from the US. This young couple who makes way more than I do are turning down houses on huge lots in Virginia because they cost $200,000. They wanted something about $20,000 less. You can't even get a condo for that here. :\

So I decided to hop online to see how much houses are worth around these parts. I live in a medium town 40km west of Toronto, Ontario. My findings...

-Typical two story detached 4 bed room, 3 bath, 2 car garage on a small suburban lot: $400,000 to $500,000.

-Freehold Townhouse/Condo: $250,000 to $300,000

-Apartment, one bedroom: $700 - $800/mo


Just wondering what people in your area are paying. :hmm:

In central NY:

A basic townhouse is ~$110k.
Comfortable 3 bed, 2 bath houses are ~$150-175k.
A 4 bed, 3 bath house would be ~$200-250k.

A 2000sq foot house on a quarter acre goes for about $200K around here.

A 3500sq foot house on 3 acres will run you 400-500K

Too damn much
This

1996 1450 sfqt, in what is now the "historic district" **bull shit** $72K.

At the bubble, thanks to realtors and transplants, +450 sqft, $280K:eek::eek:

Today, 1900sqft, $220K at the drop of a hat.

Still ridicules.

Edit: Nate must live around here.

100k for about 2000sqft with a small lot, lake property is 500k+ for 50ft of lake and a 2400sqft home. People on the larger lake are easily 1m for a smaller lot/home.

Richmond I think. In the country but close to the city. I know big cities are expensive, but real estate in Canada is ridiculously expensive for unknown reasons.

Charlotte NC.
Closer to the city it's about $240k + for a typical 4 bedroom house.
Around the edge, where I live, it drops to the $200k range.
If you head out into the country it can get even cheaper.

Down South of the US - Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana - 200K can give you a nice house of 2K sq ft, 3-4 beds with 2 baths, with back yard and fence, in a nice neighborhood with good school.
