Fratem Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Because cost of living is so high. Buying a house is part of the american dream so people buy whatever they can regardless of material How much are houses in USA? I'm househunting myselves in Belgium and I'm looking to pay around €250K - €300K for a decent house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the average price in the area I go to school is around 250k USD... But it's a sort of a well to do area with very good schools in the area which bumps it up quite alot. In florida the average value is around 190k USD but in 2012 you could buy a house there for 120k... Having also lived in Europe I know the building codes are much stricter hence higher housing costs.
