Apartments price in your area
-
I'm forced to buying a new apartment and I was stunned by the ridiculous pricing the owners ask. In a country (Romania) where the average salary is about 730RON after taxes (about 207EUR or 250USD), a 3-rooms apartment in a decent area is around 50.000 - 55.000 EUR and can go up to 150.000 for residential areas. This means that, given the average salary, a man must work 241 months (20 years) to pay for the apartment (considering his whole salary is spent paying it). I'm curious, what's the price of apartments in your area (say 3 rooms with an average of 75 sqm) and how many months do you have to work to pay for it? George.

In Helsinki you have to pay 150.000 EUR for an apartment like that and you need to work 5-10 years with an average salary of 1500-3000 EUR a month. jhaga --------------------------------- Every generation laughs at the old fashions, but follows religiously the new.

I've recently seen adverts around £600 pcm (€840) for a 3 bed apartment. To buy outright would cost £150,000+ (€210,000). If you want a really nice area then the prices are much higher.

Your lucky in your area Colin. Down here in the osuth east, that would be £1000+ to rent and probably a min of £200,000 to buy. I have seen 1 bed flats around here on sale for £150,000 :eek: If you vote me down, my score will only get lower

I'm paying nearly £600/month for a one-bed flat. It's not quite as small as it sounds - it's the top floor of a terrace house which would therefore have been the three bedrooms. My neighbours downstairs have a little more space (the kitchen is an additional extension) and access to the garden, so they're paying £650 (the landlady originally wanted £700). A house on the other side of the road, also a three-bedroom terrace, went for £245,000 a couple of months ago. I can believe your figure of £150,000 for a flat. Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder

I suppose it's even worse in places like London or Toyoko. Rich nation yes, but wages not quite inline with cost-of-living, despite our earning is much higher than what others in developing nations. Does "work" has anything to do with your ability to pay the bill anymore these days?

Roger Allen wrote: Your lucky in your area Colin That's only because I live in Dunfermline. Edinburgh's housing market is very hot at the moment and there is no way I could afford a place there in the style that I'd like to live - I value the space I have and even although I hate the one hour commute in the morning and in the evening I'd rather put up with that than live somewhere that was small. At the end of the day it is a compromise. If the house I was living in was located in Edinburgh I'd expect to pay in the region of £300,000+ for it depending on the area. As it is, three years ago I paid £95,000 and it is now worth £150,000. In the centre of Dunfermline there are two bed room flats going for £156,000 (no garden, no garage, and one less bedroom) My cousin, living in London, pays £2000 per month for rent. That is just nuts.

I have one of hte lowest priced, non-low-income housing, apartments in the city. If you qualify for low-income housing, they have apartments up the street that are priced lower. My apartment is $365.00, There is another set up the street between me and the low income housing that is $385 per month. Most apartments in town are $475 to $750 a month. The prices in town skyrocketed (I hear) when the German Air Force moved here. They brought lots of money which drove up the prices to match. We have no condos to buy, and apartments are rent not purchase. So if you want to buy, you have to think house. _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

I've seen 2 bedroom flats on the South Coast going for up to £350,000.

That's incredible...I've not seen prices like that in the UK since the late-1980s!!! The cost of living is pretty high here.

Housing is one of several exceptions, it's actually more expensive to live here than in Albuquerque,NM or Las Cruces,NM both larger cities. The only place higher "might" be higher in cost is Santa Fe. Like I said, the German Air Force brought an entire wing here, including all maintenance and support staff, equipment tracking even their own flight safety and monitoring systems/people and all the families. They came with lots of money for relocation, per diem reimbursements, overseas pay, etc. which brought up all of the housing in the area to match the inflow of money. I don't know how that works in economics, but it did. The biggest advantage they brought was they brought beer too. I've heard the quality in micro-brews went up significantly -- unfortunately I don't drink. I am currently saving to get a downpayment for a house, possibly build to spec, that means a cool 150,000 or more. A fixer upper can be had for 75,000. Prices are lower if I want to drive an extra 30 minutes a day by moving out to neighboring communities, that is still being debated. The farther you get from Holloman AFB the cheaper the housing is. _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.
