Can you buy a house for less than 100k where you are?

[gumball37]

I'm in rural Pennsylvania (USA). I bought our house this past summer (August) for $70k. 4 bed, 2 full baths, play room, dining room, and office/gaming area for my teen off of the living room. Has a large yard and garage. Here you just go to the local school district (catchment if you will).

I had a frozen pipe which is costing me 4k to fix and redo kitchen. Put about 2500 into random things for maintenance and aesthetics. 5400 for new carpet. I estimate another 20-25k for more updates in the next few years.

It seems most of the posts I read on here are about palaces 300k and up. So I was just curious.

You could get one in my city, but you'd have to live next to a bonfire site and put up with paramilitary flags.

In my village the cheapest house is 2 up 2 down, small garden and no parking for £480k, or 2 miles from the village is an ex-RAF terrace 2 bed for £345k.

I'm in Milan Italy, a house like that would be around 1 to 1.5 million Euros. In the centre of the city a one room 15msq bedsit would cost you between €500 -100k.
