Will you ever own a house in your country?

>>213643141 (OP)
Its cute that Americans think $500k is a lot for a house. You can barely get a condo for that here.

I live in Avesta and have my own 1-room apartment. Life is good.

>>213643189
The prices are really good here in Avesta and it's relatively safe too.

you must live in a very cheap area

>>213643379
I bought a 81 square meter 3BR apartment for ~894k usd (by today’s exchange rate) back in may here in Oslo.

>>213643436
what do you do that allows you to have so much money?

>>213643379
What’s the listing price for buying?

>>213643141 (OP)
Get your parents to give their house to you and buy them an apartment in exchange.

>>213643141 (OP)
I will own a house in my country
But only after my parents die

>>213643141 (OP)
Wtf that's really cheap
Is it some forgotten rust belt shithole you live in?

>>213643455
First of all, I dont, most of it is debt. Secondly I’m a boomer so this is my third apartment. I got in on the market back in 2014 so Ive made some gains from rising housing prices.

>>213643141 (OP)
shut your disgusting face, normie faggot bitch. go back to your fence sitter Facebook chat group.

>>213643141 (OP)
Where do you live? I'm currently in the process of buying a flat, 176k for a two bed detached coach house, no garage sadly. Living on the edge of a city rather than in it makes a big difference in regards to the price.

Just inherit property anon, it's way easier

>>213643141 (OP)
no young people will until the next crash

>>213643141 (OP)
I think there was some bipartisan legislation to improve first time buying support, limit mass property buyups, and slacken most zoning laws.
But since it's bipartisan, common sense, and popular there's no way in hell it'll pass. Some evil mother fucker with blackrock bucks will stop it.

>>213643141 (OP)
I went to zillow and could find plenty of cheap affordable houses within seconds.

>>213644259
vgh
>1 bathroom for 4 beds
imagine the smell

>>213644162
Want to know something sinister? Blackrock is the largest private property owner in Scandinavia, and almost have a monopoly on the private renting market in both Norway and Sweden.

kys

>>213644515
You would have done exactly the same.

>>213643141 (OP)
go fuck yourself, a studio apartment in my city is around $70k, you fuckers don't suffer.

Precis are crashing all around the country here, there’s gonna be alot of house owners in deep deep shit in a few years

>>213644585
Anon, a studio apartment in any decent city in the US is going to be over 4 times that much.

>>213644676
Nothing ever happens except line goes up

>>213643529
kys

>>213643629
That doesn't happen here anymore. Boomers sell their houses to spend whatever they get before dying, some sell and then live on a cruise ship

>>213644802
Here people sell to afford living in retirement homes.

>>213644728
Not rly, prices are tumbling down hard, and a alot of faggots that thought ”hurr durr every real estate investment is a good investment, there will always be a buyer!” is in for shit down their throat

>>213644839
Well yeah that happens too, depends how fucked up they are

i own a house in my country. not my problem.

>>213643141 (OP)
I'm sorry you are poor, home ownership is not for poor people. Maybe try buying an apartment first.

>>213644888
The state takes whatever is left of your retirement and wealth as payment when you go to those homes so in order to afford anything at all they usually need to sell stuff before going in, otherwise you get a crappy deal from the government.

>>213644922
We've been renting a 1 bedroom apartment for $2,300 a month for the past 3 years.

>>213644950
try not living in Manhattan or Venice Beach

>>213644950
Live in a tent for fucks sake, i pay $550 for a 2 bedroom apartment, why would you even subject yourself to that kinda robbery?

>>213645000
We live in Boston.

>>213645000
He probably lives in a T2 or t3 city center. Manhatten would be double or triple that

>>213644839
>>213644802
Here boomers get scammed into a deal where they sign off the house to a total stranger in exchange for being able to live there till they die and getting a shitty monthly stipend well below actual apartment worth.
Once in a while you hear of someone who got their just desserts with the old fart outliving them, but otherwise it's a legal scam so cheap and effective even our current president did it (then he stopped paying gramps anyway and the boomer ended up in a welfare house, the absolute mad lad)

>>213645043
at least there are houses to buy in Massachusetts, here in Vermont I think they forgot how to build them

>>213644950
>>213645043
>tfw this is actually a decent price for a 1BR in Boston

>>213643141 (OP)
>american think its the end of the world when they have to save 10 years or below in order to owned a house
kinda cute lmao. Here NO ONE can afford one

>>213645947
Aren't you communist? The state should give you a house.

>>213643189
yeah no joke 500k is what a house costs HERE, where people make like 1/6 of what americans do

>>213644585
brazilians don't suffer

>>213646550
>Aren't you communist?
in name only

>>213643141 (OP)
As soon as you two buy a house she's going to accuse you of domestic violence o algo and kick you out. Something similar happened to a friend of mine, never trust a w*man, bro

>>213646695
Out of space? Just build upwards
Favelas are the futuristic modular homes of /g/'s dreams

I never moved out of my childhood home. my father died last year and I inherited the house. the appraisal says it is worth 660k even though it is old and hasn't been maintained.

>>213643141 (OP)
>>girlfriend
fuck off

>>213643141 (OP)
yes, cost me 50k.
just spendt 6k to fix the roof it was the biggest drawback. from experience 3k will give me a new bathroom. i dont see things like paint, floors, insulation, electrical etc to go through it room by room as an actual expence, already done one bedroom. by the time im done in a few years i might have spendt 20k on it and thats still hella cheap for a house that was fully liveable as it was.
i only buy materials through connections and do all work myself or asking said connections to come over for a day.
its how people buildt cheap housing back in the days, you can still do it today only you avoid the bureacracy by renovating an old one.

>>213643189
git good. bought mine for 130, sold for 270, bought house for 50

>>213643141 (OP)
Still cheaper than buying a house in the Tel Aviv metropolitan area

>>213647548
i heard some waterfront property is opening up soon

>>213647906
You may be joking but there are some settlers that are already putting price tags on waterfront properties in northern Gaza, which is the first place they plan to settle in

>>213648106
>Jews selling property in a war zone
Something comical about all that
