My husband and I are trying to buy our first home. It looks like one room in my parents house forever.. :(
davidattenbruva
HA! In Sydney AUS you'd be lucky to get that for 1.5 mil.
intermittentorganization
The exact same house in Inglewood was listed for the same price a couple years ago. I bet its $750,000 now.
nabraxis
1.5 mill in Sydney
StubbAdub
Sydney be like: $1.5 million
kaleomanjario
That'd probably be about $650,000 in DC, plus $2000 HoA and paying for parking.

Northern Cali (as in way north, not SF north) is a lot less expensive and has cool trees!
CyborgScribe
And some weird people. So does the whole state but what sort of weird you get changes from south to north. And on the coast.

Realistically speaking, desert property in California is still super cheap. This'd be like $5,000 and you'd have a couple acres.

If there's a body of water nearby triple the price.

You can get it for about 5k by the salton sea. You just have to get used to 120 degree heat, toxic water, and dead fish smell

It's a bargain, the landscaping is already in.

If an analysis shows that there are clouds above this property like twice a year you can double the price.

Okay legit, how do people live there?
rhubarbarian
Wages in my field are high and I don't live directly in a city center (25-45 minute commute, depending on traffic).
BlakeTortilla
Easy. it's not nearly as expensive as people make it out to be unless you live in the city limits of LA, San Diego, or San fran.
BlakeTortilla
yes, there are neighborhoods that are hideously expensive but they're mostly by themselves out of the way
SamArt53
That would cost a lot more in Carmel, CA
DadNoises
Outside of Carmel where I work, prices are dropping for 3-4 bedroom houses in pretty solid neighborhoods
SamArt53
That’s great to hear. I wasn’t being facetious about my post. Because although the place is a disaster, a buildable lot is worth many $$$
DadNoises
Oh youre good, I didn’t think you were being facetious, just saying normally yes they’re very expensive but with lots of people losing jobs
DadNoises
and income especially around here the value is dropping since there’s less buyers around
BastardOperatorFromHell
Denver: 840,000 per room, must share with 6 college kids, no 420, small dogs negotiable, no overnight company.
BlakeTortilla
That would be funny if we couldnt google denver housing and instantly know you're full of it.
BastardOperatorFromHell
Unlike the other exaggerations I'm sure.
BlakeTortilla
yeah, but the people in san fran or Hawaii or New York are like so far above everywhere else that they get to complain.
BlakeTortilla
i mean, really, any large city is bad, but its hard to take it seriously if you know what it's like in Hawaii for instance.
BastardOperatorFromHell
Keep pouring Texans into Colorado, we'll catch up soon enough.
BlakeTortilla
Maybe. but damn, this state kills you. Oh, and we pay everyone like 20% less than the mainland average for every job type.

JustAnotherPOG
I can believe it. My dad got a >$50k/year cost of living adjustment from his company when he moved to the Bay Area from Richmond, VA.
A911owner
It's stupid expensive. A friend of mine moved from SF to Oakland last year because he couldn't take all the rent hikes.
JustAnotherPOG
He ended up living in Tracy and commuting. He took retirement as soon as he could and lives in AZ now. He bought a rather nice house (1/2)
JustAnotherPOG
for the price of a Bay Area hovel. (2/2)
Beebsta
And that 50k was how much of his former salary? 10% or 50%? because this is the relevant data.
JustAnotherPOG
$50k would have been around 20%, but I believe he negotiated it up because it still wouldn't have been comparable (and he didn't (1/2)
JustAnotherPOG
particularly want to move there anyway). (2/2)

I'm from California, and a place with that much land is easily $1,000,000.

Had to look up lanai so I am sharing for other curious ones to save you a search. Lanai means porch or veranda.

From Oahu. When I went to cali for school, I called our Apts porch that, and got some weird looks. Thought that's what everyone called it.

Depending on which island, Hawaii can be very cheap for real estate.
curleymatt
You live out there? Interested in moving there in 3-5 years. Worried about cost of home.
BlakeTortilla
Which island? good luck.
dizzysn
Depends where. If you're looking at Waikiki or Honolulu, you'd better be fucking rich as hell. Look elsewhere though and you'll see:

BlakeTortilla
Yeah, if you live in the boonies with no running water, sure.
dizzysn
Granted $250k~ is a lot for some people to mortgage, but you don't need to be rich to live a nice life in Hawaii.
ProfessorPoundTown
can confirm
dizzysn
Nah, definitely not the boonies: http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/16-2060-Silveroak-Dr_Pahoa_HI_96778_M88023-83576
BlakeTortilla
Hate to break it to you, but pahoa is the boonies, as hawaii goes. Less than 1000 people and like 20 miles from anything useful.
dizzysn
Small town sure, but it's 20 min from Hilo. Certainly not a major city, but def not boonies.
