How much do houses go for?

Postby phillyidol » Thu Mar 10, 2005 10:17 am

Medication881 gave me the idea. Houses in NY go for$400,000 and up. 3 years ago, my house was on the market for $250, now it is selling for $550,000! Insane! I only have a small bit of land. People move to NJ to get more for their money. But any place in the US is going to give you more for your money. How about you? How much land?

.13 acres. Around the $1 million mark. Insane - and I bought for $387,000 less than five years ago. It's a three bedroom Colonial revival. I gutted and renovated the attic, the basement and now in the middle of my upstairs bathroom. It's all money, owning

Here in rural Maine the housing market is pretty affordable. My husband and I bought our modest home three years ago for $130,000. Since then we've put in a new kitchen and living room, with more improvements to come this summer, so the value has gone u

Good topic, [b]Philly[/b]. Property is insanely cheap here in the St. Louis area, and you can get a beautiful brand new 5 bedroom home on an acre for about 200k. Average home prices fall into the 80-120k range. My house is "in the city", so I only have a

It's relatively cheap here, too. Our 1500 sq. ft. house, with about 7500 sq. ft. of yard, cost us $113,000 5 yrs. ago, and we're in the center of town (not downtown, tho). New Mexico is cheap, but wages are sucky low here, too. On the edges of town, new h

950K for a 1200 SQ Ft 2+2 Condo in Coronado.
Houses (decent ones anyways) are about 2.5+ here on the Island.
I live in the slums of Coronado. [V]

Wasn't too pricey when i bought it - but here in Beachwood Canyon (that'd be in Hollywood, CA - the area where that rather famous sign is located) prices have more than doubled in 5 years. 2,500 square feet will set you back a cool million (and no, we did

Its quite ecpensive in Europe as well. I`m living in the suburbs of our capital in a little house in chain. I gave 450 000 US dollars for it 1/2 year ago, now its worth 500 000 !

By moving out in the countryside the same house would cost me about 150 0

On Long Island where I live, a fixer upper starts at $400,000. for a basic cape 60 by 100 property. I would love to know what everyone is paying in taxes. The taxes here on Long Island are BAD. When I bought my house 11 years ago, the taxes were $3400

We're in an area of Salt Lake City where 70 year old homes are going from $450,000.00 to $650,000.00. Its absolutely insane. We paid $180,000.00 in 1998.
