say $250,000 , $500,000 and 1 Million buy you in the way of a house in ur city? ...I'm curious to see which country has the best value for money

On the Gold Coast ...this is your average $250,000
(actually $250,000 won't really get u a house ..it may get u a cheap duplex(1 of 2)




This would be an average $500,000 home:





And this would be your average million dollar home (which is actually about the start price for a waterfront home) ....Money doesn't go far these days

Is that Australian dollars?

A bit of a fixer upper, but hey, what can you expect for that price....

oceanfront homes here are about 15 to 20 mill

Ocean said:

Oceanfront homes here come with wine and fruit, apparently lol ...

125k AU would buy you a car here
250k AU might get you a repo 1 bed appt in a sorry state
500k AU Would get you a modest 2-3 bed Duplex in need of care
1 million AU would get you a 4-5 bed Nice home

What's the outside of the $1,000,000 home look like, do you know?

Byron said:

I don't know why, but when I searched the ones that were for about $1,000,000 didn't have photos of the exterior


This is the outside of a house that is just under that price:

Ocean said:

Our house is appraised at 275,000$ ( 6 yrs ago ) may be higher now becuse we were gifted 3 more acres since then - so we have like 6.5 acres and the house

you have seen pix of it

I am unable at this time to find pix of houses for other values
