“An average sized home in Manhattan would cost upwards of $3,000,000”

800 square foot 5th floor, no elevator, grimy and high crime....gee where do I sign up for that? /s/

Never have understood the attraction.

I paid about $500,000 for a 2,000 sq ft condo in the NYC area. Far enough away from the city to have lots of woods nearby so I'm happy with it. Plus, I can be in the city in about an hour. People often tell me that for that amount of money, I could have a mansion in say, Arkansas, with a 10 acre spread.

Probably so, but that would make for a hell of a long commute to work! And I doubt I find a job in Arkansas with anywhere near the income I can make in Manhattan.

As always, location, location, location, dictates the price.

But I'm glad I don't live in Manhattan these days. Real estate in my neck of the woods is rising fast because so many city dwellers want to move out to the suburbs.

While the article says $300,000 buys 300 sq ft in San Fransicko, that’s misleading. The cheapest house in twice that price (and yes, twice that size) in a marginal neighborhood on only a 1700 sq foot lot. I cite the teeny weeny lot size because it’s being advertised as a “developer’s dream” (or tear- down), meaning the realty broker doesn’t believe a buyer would want to live in it in its current condition

In Manhattan you must spend at least $1,000 a sq ft for something decent.But that may be less now thanks to the virus.

Looking at the two extremes in America, homebuyers in Houston could get seven times more space compared to their fellow house-hunters in San Francisco.

AND ... you don't have to worry about the street excrement in Houston!

Housing in Houston is affordable, but to quote the baseball player Richie Auburn, “Houston is the only city where women wear insect repellent rather than perfume.”

Yeah, the mosquitoes are ferocious here.

A nice house and about 20 acres in NH.

I’ll just hang on to my 2 acres and 1300 sq ft site built custom home and 1300 sq ft mobile home for relatives for less than half of that.

How do the property tax and state income and school tax rates and any expiring abatement apply and vary?

[Zathras]

It kind of depends the neighborhood in Portland and Phoenix.
Vast differences depending on what you pick.

[PLMerite]

36 acres and a big house in Texas.

After Biden makes 11 million illegals legal and millions more pour into the country, property will go up in a few places and down in a whole lot more.
