Honestly, you wouldn't even get a garage for $80,000 here . . .
Here are the average house prices for the whole country as of yesterday, and bear in mind that £1 = ~$2 . . . . -
Average Cost: £210,578
Detached: £323,332
Semi-detached: £189,617
Terraced: £168,134
Flat: £196,505
Change in last quarter: +0.2%
Change in last year: +9.25%
That is why lots of first time buyers can't get on the property ladder right now, and why Offspring (and me) are amazed at how much you can get for your money in the US. In 3 or 4 years time, I'll be looking at getting my first property . . . and I really don't know how I'm going to afford it, unless there is a house price crash in that time.
Offspring - beware that (AFAIK) house prices in the US are falling.
