Here's an idea everyone go to a estate agent web site and post an example of a £200000 house or the equivalent in your domestic currency. Then we can compare what you get for your money in different Countries.

I'll start:

Again this is not my house it is just an example of what £200000 will get you in my home Town

After seeing these lovely houses my one is about this size.

In my home town a place like yours (In the right street) would set you back about £600-£750,000.

Yes, I know! I can find new ones at our local brick yards, but I want an old one. Or two. I've put it off due to other expenses, but it may be about time to check out the chimney pot website that sells some of the vintage ones. They just cost soooo much to ship.

Here's the other thing - reckon I could find a mason who doesn't mind working under cover of darkness? The neighborhood association will frown on such exterior modification.

Hey, Dan - I need a watch to go with the house. Seriously, a Tudor vintage with California Dial would be perfect!

Yeah, but you might have to trade the Tudor you live in to pay for it.

Houses In Houston are still very "cheap" compared to Phoenix or any other major U.S. city even today after the real estate crash.
A house in AZ would cost almost twice as much as Houston.
Property Tax's are way to high but that aside you can buy a huge
house for very little money.
One of the reasons I went along with moving here was because of the price.
If you get close in to downtown they are expensive but in the burbs its way down in price
My wifes daughter bought this home in "The Woodlands" for 250k last year
3k sq ft

Hey, Greg. My sister and her husband are moving to The Woodlands in March. His company is transferring him so they don't have to worry about selling their house in Baton Rouge.
