[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 593084, member: 14557"] I have always thought properties in US and Canada are ridiculously expensive like your rents are and like the houses in those real estate programs they for some obscure reason show in our tv are. But seems to be much more varying than that. For an interest I made a search in site that lists about any property or flat for sale in this country (notice the r) and came up with three (3) houses, that are in liveable condition (as in are not sold for total reno/for the land), have plumbing and cost 50 000 dollars or less. One had one room and a kitchen, two had two rooms and kitchen. All build over 60 years ago and look like it. All in back woods. Flat you may be able to get with that (usually studio or one bedroom and kitchenette) in smaller cities. We live in ridiculously expensive area because we are both rural and near major city and that is something many want. Even very common, twenty, thirty year old, three bedrooms, 1200 sq feet homes with small yard are over 500 000 dollars. Then again, renting seems to be much cheaper here. For example difficult child pays around 500 dollars a month for one bedroom, living room, kitchenette and sauna flat with about 600 sq feet. It is a good deal, but market price wouldn't be more than 150 or 200 dollars more. It's half a mile away the main street of that smaller city (less than 100 000 people.) Similar flat here in the big city would still be less than 1000 dollars a month in middle class neighbourhood close to down town. [/QUOTE]
