Property: What Can You Buy For $500,000?
Okay so the idea of this thread is that everyone chips in with a picture of a property in their local area that is on the market for $500,000 or currency equivalent. Hopefully we will get contributions from people all around the world so we can form a really interesting picture of the global housing market; I'm sure there will be some amazing contrasts. For some people I imagine it's going to be hard to find a property valued at $500,000 nearby, but I'd ask that in that case you widen your search rather than lower the price; I think it will make for a better thread if everyone sticks fairly closely to the guide price.
So this is what $500,000 (£250k) will buy you in Addlestone, Surrey, England: 2 bedrooms, 1 reception room, 1 bathroom 2 bedrooms, 1 reception room, 1 bathroom |

I think posting the pics here won't work, it caches, this is in my neighbourhood:
Link 66 square meters flat, hall with place to eat, living room with open kitchen, balcony, living room, a small room in the basement for storing. It is newly renovated and in a quite new building which drives the price up, average price here is probably around 6-7k/sqm. |
