Well, in our condominium community of about 80 units, 2-3 bedroom townhouse condos go for $220K-$250K. You can get significantly cheaper apartment-style condos nearby, and some townhouses very much like ours that are slightly more expensive. The closest neighborhood of single-family homes start about $300K, I think.
We should go to the Village Cafe for lunch sometime
Not only do I owe you a long-overdue letter, I now also owe you a punch in the nose. I’m so envious.
Rural northern Virginia.
Call it 750K or more. But you get land with that. And, as a special bonus…rust in your water!
I’m down for that! It doesn’t take much to talk me into the Village Cafe
I’m thinking the Loudoun County area… Ashburn, Leesburg, Waterford, etc. Am I right?
Wow, I think you are my closest doper. I’m a couple blocks from the Ford plant.
Melbourne ranges from about $200k(AUD) for a three-bedroom brick venereal at 40 or 50km’s from the CBD, up to many millions for a home in the more prestigious suburbs (Toorak, Brighton etc). Flats (apartments) and units are considerably cheaper.
The inner-'burb where I live is characterised by small Victorian terrace houses, and they go for anything from $350-$600k depending on how well they have been renovated.
There is a joke in there somewhere…
Twiddle
Yes, it does vary quite a bit.
And I know right about where you both live, so watch it.
I live just outside the city, just north of mhendo as a matter of fact, and the houses in my neighborhood go for about $375,000 to $600,000. Older brick or stone colonials, 4-5 bedrooms, finished basements, with garages on quarter- or third-acre lots. Not a “cookie-cutter” type of neighborhood at all.
Nice to see someone’s paying attention.
Yep, up past Hillsboro in a little valley called ‘Between the Hills’.
Paging some Prague natives.
I know the area well. My husband is from Lovettsville and went to school in Purcellville.
Good man! We’ll have y’all out to the house someday!
~$150,000 for a 3 BR/2 bath with ~1700 sq. ftr.
the house across the street is listed as a 4 br/ 2 bath with “great potential” with around 1600Sqft, it’s a good deal in the city, but the asking is 500K and i expect it to go for 560+ . i went into it and thought that it needed 100K in cosmetic work (it’s a victorian) homes in SF are pricey, but even more so if they are single family homes with parking. and when they say 4 BR, 2 of them are barely the legal limit in size to be called a BR - fine for a crib, but that’s about it.
For the USA, homepricecheck.com should give sold prices of just about anywhere. Fun to see what the neighbor paid for their house.
In suburban Greensboro, NC we bought a 2,900 sq ft 3br 2.5 bath in 1998. It is on a one acre lake lot, all brick, two car garage, the works. Paid $223,000. Houses in the neighborhood are now selling for close to $300k.
