More than I have ever been able to afford for all of my adult life.
The USA is huge variation but in my county median household income is $70k, median home price is $370k. It’s a rural area but with 2 cities within 40 miles or so. In my location travel north and income and house prices increase, travel south and they both decrease. My mortgage including taxes and insurance is $1,200 per month.
Finally! A real answer to one of these
Wage is 10k, house is 2m.
A nice house? Unattainable. A 90s RV? Possible.
House is around 500k, median annual family income is 61.4k.
That’s not even a question that has one answer in my neighborhood, much less the whole city. And the whole US? Forget it.
I couldn’t even answer that question here in the Netherlands and our country is about 237 times smaller than the US
Who mentioned the US?
OP: The original wording was “…in your country”.
Absurdly high is what they are!
I had a look and it so happens there are 2 properties for sale within a few hundred meters from me.
€ 200,000 for a one room apartment of 46 m²
€ 560,000 for a large apartment with balcony
The nearest house costs a bit over € 1.2 million.
I got lucky with a cheap apartment ~40m² for € 662/month (which is almost as much as minimum wage here btw). Renting till I die I guess 🤷
This sounds exactly like where I’m at lmao

That sucks! I feel for you and your fellow Argentinians.
Does a typical football match cost a lot? I have always wondered that about the game in some of the countries where it is the most popular sporting event. How many professional leagues are there? Do you have a favorite?

Ontario here. The numbers they report are the “average” but I call bullshit. Reality Average one bedroom apartment $2500, 2 bedroom basement $1800. Utilities extra. Buy a townhouse $700-$1m. Detached $1m+. We are so fucked.
To be able to afford a 1 bedroom apartment one person must make around $80k a year. If you want to purchase a house, we’ll good luck unless your household income is over $200k and even then you’ll be scraping the bottom of the price barrel.
I’m in a college town, so… it varies wildly. You could probably rent a crack shack 10 miles from campus for basically nothing.
The floor for rent at a “decent” place is probably at least a grand. Actually buying a house? Who the fuck knows, but it’ll definitely be obscene.
My university-owned apartment is $600 with a roommate, which is honestly a pretty good deal considering that utilities (including gigabit Ethernet!) are included.
Inner eastern Melbourne, Australia. Properties are bought by Chinese investors (not racist, stating a fact) for AU$1-2 million, demolished, replaced with McMansions, sold for over AU$4 million. Within ten years these garbage concrete boxes are cracking and falling apart.
Some suburbs look like McMansion ghettoes and are completely out of reach of ordinary people.
Small houses in most Florida Metro areas are in the 400k range… Multiple 3/2s in the 1500sq range are 500k+
A 600 sq.ft condo is about $850k. On the standalone house side an older 2000 sq.ft house goes for over $2 Million.
SW Ontario, Canada
$75K is a decent salary
4 bedroom house in a nice suburb: $750K-$900K
Townhouse in a a nice suburb: $650K-850K
You can get smaller houses in less desirable neighborhoods for $400K
