What's a front room? Is it like a great room?

Oh, I guess houses there are layed out differently than here! In my house, two bedrooms face the front, one faces the back, and one faces the side.

I dunno how much houses are here, as most are for rent!

You're not even allowed to rent in my neighborhood! Someone tried putting their house up for rent once and the Home Owner's Association really got after them. Then a week later, they issued $1,000 fines if your satellite dish was visible from the streets. Let's just say they want our neighborhood to be like Pleasantville...

That's ironic because Starbuline lives in Pleasanton!

No, it's Pleasantville, that movie where everything in the town just HAS to be perfect. Otherwise people go nuts. It's a pretty good movie.

I realise that! I just liked the similarity between the names.

I am just moving from rented fflat to rentd flat and probably always will be. I 'd love to be able to buy any one of those houses, but especially the ones with scenery and stuff. But still, where i live is better than a room with dark brick walls around it. Your house is very beautiful, Lightning 88. I will end up looking over a school and a Uni library with some trees around it.

Hard to tell, but there are 3 bedroom terraced town-houses (small garden no garage) on my street on the market for £850,000 or US$1,650,000.

We only live on that street because our flat (apartment) comes with my wife's job :lol:

I could not even begin to guess. Here in Fullerton a 3 bedroom townhome goes for 550K US. IF you could find a house like yours we are probably looking at ~5 mil

Boston Suburbs:
Just rough estimates:
House #1 $850K
House #2 $425K
House #3 Over $1.5m
House #4 $325K
House #5. No clue. Once you hit the highest end of the market, it gets tough to say.

The housing prices in Orlando have skyrocketted past their actual value about 3 1/2 years ago (just before I was in a position to buy one). Those house would all cost more than what you listed, I don't know exactly by how much, except the $70K one would go for no less than $200K here.

The houses over the river are the most expensive here.

In Melbourne, there is a definite "right" and "wrong" side of the river. Genreally close to the CBD is expensive, cheaper the further out you go. Melbourne is about 50km (30 mile) radius, but longer on "growth corridors".

House cost approx A$10,000/sq (A$100 per sq ft or USD 7,000) to build new. A 56 sq house (5600 ft) would cost approx USD 395,000 to build new (depending on quality of fittings etc). Could spend less. Could spend lots more.

City fringe land building sites A$120,000 for 700 sqm = USD $85,000 / 7000 sq ft. In a good inner city suburb land value can be millions.
