How much are average house prices where you live?

[Locut0s]

I'm talking a detached house + land it sits on. Nothing fancy just your average looking detached house. Around here you are still looking at an average of about $800,000 or more. And I live about 15 mins from the city centre. We live in a townhouse, not detached, so hour house doesn't count here (it's in the 700k range still though). One advantage of living with your parents Of course if you move farther afield or go to different neighbourhoods prices will fluctuate but you would be hard pressed to find a detached home for less than 700k anywhere within about 30mins of the city.

Probably 500-600k

I am not too sure anymore. These are all 3500sq ft built in 2002+, ours cost 350000 when we built it

Uhmm, my friend just bought a 3BR for $900k or so. Not even that good of a house. I know my fam's house is something around 1.7-1.8 million. CA FTW!

Average price here is between 85K-125K

Average price being a home with 3BR and roughly 1500-2500 sq. ft. Those are the average homes around where I live.

 

[FoBoT]

any where from $75,000 to $200,000 depending on if it is in town on a small lot or on a few acres in the country

 

[coldmeat]

About 200k.

The tax credit has homes around here about $10,000 overpriced. I would say around $150,000.

 

[TridenT]

A high estimate for something like this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Big_single-family_home_2.jpg would be 350k.

Hmm .... town I live in ... Townhouse or Condos just 1 bedroom are around 150K. Small, old, houses in need of a LOT of attention are maybe 150-170K. You can find a 30ish year old 1000 sq foot house starting around 175K up to around 250K .... Most of the 2500-3000 sq foot houses built in the last 5 years are going for around 300K-350K. Waterfront homes on Bangs lake go for 50-100K more. Houses bordering the Lakewood Forest Preserve to the south of town are generally on acre+ lots and newer 3500+ sq foot, they are 750K+ (biggest one that I've seen for sale was around 1.8 million.)

The average price for single family homes sold in Greater Victoria last month was $590,567, down from $619,936 in September. The median price was $536,000. The six-month average was $587,623. The overall average price for condominiums was $322,349 last month, down slightly from $325,106 in September. The average for the last six months was $316,137. The median price for condominiums in October was $297,000. The average price of all townhomes sold last month was $438,058 down from $441,966 in September. The median price dropped slightly to $409,500. The six month average was $431,675.

I tend to follow the median rather than the average as the average can be thrown completely out of wack by one sale (Russ Courtnall's previous home sold for $6m earlier this year).

I'm just outside of Victoria, and average prices here are probably $450-500K

The median price in Sidney in September was $500k and October was $480k, so you do know your market.

... been in the market here for about a year ... and pretty damn much right at the median when we bought.

Ewwww....a du-er.

You know cause?

 

[edro]

160k... it was just on the news.

 

[ultimatebob]

In my town, $134,000 is the average price right now. It was about 30,000 more than that 18 months ago.

For the state of Connecticut as a whole, $260,000 is the average price. For Greenwich? About 1.1 million!

Guess I shouldn't complain... the average price of a house in Las Vegas went from $280,000 to $130,000 in three years!

You can get a 2K sq ft brand new house with back yard for around $200K around my area.

 

[vi edit]

Huge range depending on where you live, and what your priorities are.

Right now I'm renting a little bungalo home about 2 blocks from ghettoville. It's a 2BR house in need of some TLC, with no yard to speak of and no garage. But it's a $55,000 I'm renting for under $600 a month and it's got solid bones and is cozy.

I'm in the process of building a $350k home on 1.5 acre's that will be over 4 BR, 3200 finished sq/ft with a full unfinished basement, dedicated home theatre, and 4 stall garage. That home is about 15 minutes outside of town in a quiet rural subdivision of similar priced homes.

And then there's a whole lot in between the two price ranges.

 

[ussfletcher]

35k-1M+ Yay for lakes in Detroit Suburbs!

 

[mephiston5]

200k +/-20k. That will get a 3/4 bedroom, 1800 sqf. Not too bad.

 

[DrPizza]

Well under 100k

I still can't figure out how new houses managed to sell for so much in some areas - housing prices skyrocketed while the cost of materials remained relatively flat. Thus your $300k home on 1 acre in 2000 became a $600k home in 2008. Did the price of land go up by $300k per acre?
