I was watching a US made reality show where someone was house hunting, and looking at 2 bedroom apartments for under $400 a month, and a nice enough 3 bedroom house on a large block in what looked like a nice suburb for $550 a month negotiable. Sorry I didn't get the state but it was south-ish with "y'all" etc in the speech.
This made me think, I deliberately moved to a "cheap" country area here in Australia but even here housing prices have risen and and a 3 bed house with nice block would rent for $1390 a month, that's two and a half times more than in that area in the USA, and this is a CHEAP area to live in Australia.
Have house prices took a big dump with the recession and the imploded American economy? It would be great if people gave an approximation of the rent or purchase prices of housing in their area, just to get a ball park figure for different states or areas.
If I could rent a big 3 bed house in a nice suburb for $100 a week, maybe I should move to the USA? Cheap housing, cheap food, cheap Harley Davidsons, what more could a guy want?
