deuces wild Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 $9 million may be a deal.$300k is not expensive for new and existing construction in my area as well as inmany areas in the US. Try buying something in Manhattan or San Francisco...$300k buys you a one bedroom or studio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Man Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 My home (with help from our family) was built using $52,000 CDN of materials. Labour was free, and my home is now valued at over $300,000 CDN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andsome Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 We paid £2900 for our house, it is now valued at £180000. In the south east I understand the value would be nearer to £250000. It's all got out of hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The increase in value is no use to us at all. If we sell up we have to re-purchase in the same market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir T Fireball Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 A castle in Arkansas - that's a joke, right :huh: :D The last of the Bohemian properties in the list looks promising.....could work on an extension in that loft :P Price is just about 'doable' too B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir T Fireball Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Oh yeah! The 1st time buyer market is still very busy in central London...no need to panic just yet Andsome. Young people need to work harder at their education and in turn get better paid jobs. Failing that, rent from the council if they are low wage earners. Not a new concept.

catgate Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 It's all very depressing for the future, because it is not just houses, it is everything. Attached are some thoughts that I penned some time ago for another purpose. There is no wonder that poverty (in it's variously measured relativities) exists world wide.

Scarecrow Man Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 What's the timeframe on that Scarecrow Man?Sorry for the delay!

It's impossible to get anything like our house for under £800 or so per month. How long would the sale money last at that rate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir T Fireball Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Rents will drop considerably once the number of prospective tenants picks up....it's all gonna work out in the end.
