Brit Reacts To TOUR OF AN AVERAGE AMERICAN HOME - someone please sponsor a visa for me I'm moving 😳 

There is no average or “typical” house in America. They come in all different styles and sizes.

Connecticut is a wealthy state, and this is probably in a suburb of NYC which are among the nicest places you can live in the country. According to Nick he paid $1.2 million for this house.

Take what you see on the interwebs with a grain of salt Kabir. This is upper middle class. Very nice home, he earned the flex.

This guy has done more than one post about his house. In one he said it was worth 1 million dollars. It is probably worth more nowadays. It is NOT typical.

Ok, I looked up this home. It’s 3100 sq ft.,; the average American home is 2,300 sq ft. Sold for more than $900,000; current value is estimated at 1.4-1.8 million, depending on the website. Definitely not average.

That house is NOT a typical American house. That house is the dream. As others have said, price varies greatly depending on the area. I'm in Virginia and our house is less than 1100 square feet.

I've worked for 25 years and own a home, and I DREAM of a house like that. The housing market in the US is absolutely insane right now. Many people dream of owning at all because their high rent and local house prices make it impossible to save up enough to buy, let alone afford the taxes and mortgage payments. I'm a weirdo who doesn't want anything over 1500-1800 square feet. This house is enormous to me. In my southern city, it would cost MINIMUM $450,000 in a nice area. In a less desirable neighborhood, $300,000 if it is updated like this one.

This house is in Connecticut and if you were to purchase it in the northeast it would probably at least a million dollars. I live in the deep south and if you were to purchase a home like this (depending on whether or not it was in the city of a rural area) would probably cost you in the area of $400,000 to $500,000.

In Texas & areas of Arizona, New Mexico, areas throughout the South & Midwest; yes, you could get a house & yard of that size for around $500k. Anywhere in the Northeastern US or California, absolutely not. Decide on the kind of climate and proximity to shops, transportation, schools, etc, before buying anything. Remember, the US is a *huge* country. If I recall correctly, England is approximately the size of the state of Oregon. We have all sorts of weather as well as terrain extremes, cities, mountains, desert, swamp, & rural areas. Visit various areas first. Get to know the people and the area first, especially before you move countries.🙂

My house is similar- two levels plus basement and attic- and likely around the same square foot (mine is about 3500 sq ft) It has an attached two car garage, and a detached shop. On two acres with a small river through the back of the land. We bought it in 2020 for 250k, luckily right before the buying frenzy. Our neighbor purchased a similar home around the same time for around the same price and he just sold for 600k I said all that to say, at one point, you could find a lot of homes like this for under 300k. Today? Absolutely not.

The long row of conjoined houses is called a "Row House". They are older and common in the large cities of the east coast...DC. Baltimore, Philly..NYC etc.

I'm happy for this man, he's obviously done very well for himself. But that is not average. That's above average. That's house is hundreds of thousands of dollars more expensive than most.

This house, with the yard upgrade, etc. is way over a million. This is in Connecticut and therefore a "bedroom community" for commuting to NYC.

I don't know that there is a typical American house, But this one is definitely upper income. He's definitely flexing.

This house has a yard or a lawn, Americans do not call grass a garden. What you call an allotment, we call a garden. Our gardens emphasize flowers or vegetables, not grass. We mow the yard, not the garden.

In Vegas we wouldn’t have the basement but otherwise it would cost $550-750k depending on the neighborhood

What you call terraced houses are usually called townhomes here.

Definitely not an average house. In my area that's easily a 900k house. Average here is a 3 bedroom 1-2 baths 1000 square foot house.

Something else I want to add that nobody's really talking about is that you'll have to pay property tax every year on your house, and that cost will depend on how much the cost of your houses is. In addition, you'll have to pay water bill, and sewer bill, electric bill, trash pick up bill and upkeep on your house also. Some neighborhoods require you to pay a neighborhood fee if it's a gated community. You really have to look into all the other fees that are going to be required before purchasing your home. The mortgage is also going to be a fee that you have to pay every month like your rent that a bank has to approve you for. Like someone else already said that you have to make a lot of money to get approved to buy a home that cost this much. What most people do is buy a cheaper home and then they renovate and upgrade the house. Which in most cases it's cheaper to do it this way.

My house is about 1100 square feet and very normal in Houston, Texas area. The house you just looked at is very probably at least $500, 000 if not more. Most middle to lower class families live in much smaller houses.

My house is similar with it's kitchen/living area, but in Fl there are no basements due to the ground water table. I don't know that you can really say there's any "average American home", but there are average homes according to their size, location etc...for example, in subdivisions, housing developments and the like. I live in a housing development/subdivision with about 160 homes where all the houses are similar in style and size. This is very common in suburban areas, but there is so much diversity in homes that you really can't label any one home as the 'typical' or 'average' American home. The region also plays a huge role in the type of housing.

My parents bought a 1928 home in 1977. In Brooklyn New York. It Is detached, have a driveway, front yard, two car garage, yard in front of the garage, and behind the garage a decent size garden for vegetables, etc. we have three floors plus a basement. Three full baths, two partial baths, and in the basement, in one of the pantries has a tub in it for the other three bathrooms are occupied and you want to take a nice soaking bath. The basement, my father converted one of the rooms into his workshop. They had nothing to do with the rest of the rooms down there. Plenty of closet space. And this house is considered a one family home. Most people envy our house because, it’s not the typical house. We actually had two of them side-by-side, twin houses. The houses shared a yard where you could drive completely around my parents home. My parents had one home and then later I bought the other one. I sold my house for $2.1 million.

I live in southern rural Indiana (about 45 minutes from Louisville, KY) and my house would probably cost now about $350k-500k depending on how much land it came with. My house, in 2021, was $210k and has 2950 sq ft, 5 bed, 3 bath, with 10 acres of land. Once you get outside the major cities, property with land becomes highly valuable. You can build higher and higher "apartments" but you can never add more sqft of land area. farms/land plots will only ever increase in value forever. best investment you can make.

It’s a lovely house, but as a fellow resident of Connecticut I will say it’s not just the value of the house (expensive), but the income needed to sustain it. Property taxes vary greatly in various parts of the U.S., and Connecticut has some of the highest in the country. It’s also in the north, so there are winter heating costs to factor in as well as electricity/water.

What you call terraced houses are pretty common in the US -- we call them townhouses or row houses. Some, especially in cities, are quite old, but some are being newly built all the time. I live in one, which was new when I bought it nearly 30 years ago, in a sort of suburb outside a college town. 3 floors, 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms.

Every area of the country has different styles and prices of homes, and then you add yearly property taxes.

A "typical" house in my small town in South Carolina is a 3 bedroom house with maybe 1500 sq. ft. They sell for about $250,000. We bought our 3 bedroom house for $80,000 in 1994! We've spent probably $100,000 over the 30 years we've lived here redoing every room and adding a bonus room and a detached screen porch in the back yard. it's on a .75 acre lot. We could sell it now for $250,000. I saw a big 4 bedroom house on a .8 acre lot with a 3 car garage selling for $680,000 in the ritzy neighborhood in town.

Townhouses are Row houses. There are quite a few in the US. I’m in Florida and there’s a ton. We used to live in a 3 bedroom 2.5 bath townhouse and now we’re in a single family home. More upkeep up we love it.

1) 400-750K Depending on region of the country. 2) The south is cheaper than anywhere else. Texas is great for property/home buying, but don't move there if you are liberal. 3) Double the price if you move north of the mason-dixon line. Unless you move to Montana, North/South Dakota; which, depending on the city, may give you incentives to move there. 4) The price above reflects new-build. You can buy cheap and renovate; but again, depending on the region of the country; it can be pricey.

You could definitely get this size home for under $500k. It just depends on the state and which suburb. That's definitely doable in parts of Ohio, Texas, Georgia, Delaware, Virginia, the Carolinas, Nevada, Arizona, etc. You can totally forget about that price in New York or California. Basements are usually the same size as the upstairs. Many people finish 50-75% of their basements and use the rest for storage. What you call terraced homes, we call row houses (usually older) or townhomes (more modern).

This is a lot nicer than most American houses. I paid around $150,000 for my house in Oklahoma - big kitchen, 3 bed, 2 bath, 2 living areas, laundry rm, 1 car garage w huge backyard. It’s an older home & I purchased about 6 yrs ago so I’m sure it’s gone way up since then.

A house like this will vary wildly depending on what part of the country you're in. If you were in the midwest outside a major city, maybe $500k to $600k, but this guy said he is in Connecticut, which is close to NYC and quite pricey, probably in the $1m range. Like someone said, this is upper middle class. You should get on zillow, pick a city and state, and see what the prices are like. They're literally all over the place. I will say we love our big basements, big yards, and big kitchens. We like to spread out

Mine was 1799 sq.ft. now is 400 sq. ft.. much less to clean and in the mountains, so peaceful......

Ha, we don't call a lawn a garden. A garden grows flowers or vegetables. Ha.

Kabir, house pricing is only low in rural areas. If you're okay with moving to the countryside, then you can get a house like that for a relatively low price, but a large house within driving distance of any major city will cost a million or more.

In the outer outer suburbs of St Louis or Kansas City (Missouri) , a new build house like that would be $350-$500K but you would be looking at an hour commute for any job that paid enough to afford the house. My little 840sqft 2BR 1925 bungalow would fit in this guy's kitchen and family room. 🤣

The three most important words in real estate….Location, location, location.

In Texas, we don't have basements, but that house would be under a million, but a little over 1/2 million. Once upon a time in Texas, that house would have been about $300,000, but those days are long gone. Also, usually houses like that one would be in very nice and pretty areas. Texas is constantly building new neighborhoods. Remember, it's Texas, and the land is vast.. 🤠

This house in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan would be about $300,000. On the lake $400,000

I am considered low income. I live alone with just a small dog. My rural house is around 1900 sq ft with a basement. 3bedroom, 3 bath, on half an acre. When I see homes overseas, I realize my home is comparable in size to a middle-upper income over there. Not sure I could used to something much smaller.

This is not "average" by any means. J.

I think the average US home is 2500 SF. I own an older (1934) Cape Cod that has a basement and garage. The living quarters are 1500 sf. Oddly, people often ask me how do I manage. One person in a 2 story household with a basement is large enough. Have been giving some thought to downsizing when I retire in a few years. THAT house is hardly typical--he is upper income. Gorgeous kitchen. Prices for homes are largely based on location. Looking on either coast, you will pay top dollar. Connecticut is a very expensive state to live and work--plus the taxes--whoa, boy! Love how the owner is so crazy about his dog. Maybe do a series of videos about more typical homes in the US?

There’s no such thing as typical. Prices will vary by 3 to 4 times depending on where in the country it is. This is an upscale $1-2 million plus house in a wealthy NYC suburb. In a lower cost area like the Midwest or south it could easily be $500k or even less.

Kabir you need to see our large rural America houses with what we call a yard and you call a garden that requires hours to mow even with a large ride on mower. A trip to the shops is a 45 minute drive each way.

This is a new build. My childhood neighborhood was build in the 1920s to 30s, Craftsman style. We were middle class. Hilly neighborhood. The garage was in the basement level, & the house is entered via the basement to the back stairs. Back door enroute up. Ground floor front entrance is directly above the garage. (We always had to get a smaller car; & even then, my dad had to exit the passenger side door & walk up the driveway hill to the entrance to the house.) Half the garage length was our front porch. The other half was our solarium/entrance. Where the closet was. From the solarium we enter the dining room, which also contained the "only"telephone (for a long time,physically hardwired into the old house! Imagine the phone company tech's surprise when he could just plug our brand new, necessitated by touch tone, phone into the wall! Anyway, the only phone relocated to the master bedroom, still hardwired in as I'd had to explain to the disbelieving folks helping me move. That phone stayed with the house.) To the right was an outside wall with a small window. I've always wondered why it was small. Across the dining room was a single width door to our small kitchen. Families entertained in the living room, not the kitchen, when the house was built.) The kitchen had 2 entrances: the basement steps & the door to the dining room. For the longest time, each set of cabinets & cupboards was mismatched from each other, signifying different remodeling. Then, in the 80s, we got those horrid false fronts installed with the horizontal handles I hated & still hate. Salesman also talked my folks into wasted money: one of those stickers hood things that, in modern houses, actually carry the steam outside; but ours just blew it back into the kitchen ever our heads! As usual, my parents paid no attention to me when I pointed out the flaw in the hood! Immediately right of the dining room door was a white, gas powered oven/stove, which always had the water filled kettle waiting to be turned on (the burner under it turned on: I'm describing my house circa the 1970s) so they could fix their coffee. Beyond the oven & above the eventual hood were brown wood cupboards & cabinets with aqua(?) formica counters. This led to the kitchen window, with its pretty, lacy curtain. Across from the cupboards/cabinets was a while fridge; & across from the stove was a double sink surrounded by white wooden cabinets & cupboards, where we kept the glasses & plates. The wall to the left featured white metal cabinets (pots & pans, our bread drawer, the drawer devoted to the constant gifts of what I think you'd call tea towels that we never used, since they were too fancy to use! Explanation: my godmother was English from London who'd immigrated to the US in the 1950s, & her family still in London remembered us each Christmas.) The cupboards were the same as over the stove. I was too young to remember the kitchen remodel. Apparently, the fridge used to be behind the basement door! My parents had contractors relocate the door, cutting the pantry in half, & turning the other half into "breakfast room" (i.e., every meal except special occasions) & sewing room. Guess who had custom made costumes as a child??🙋🏻‍♀ Living room opened off the left side of the dining room. In those days, long before cable TV, we had a cabinet TV & and a cabinet stereo among the furniture along the wall enclosing the back steps. We used to have doorbells that physically chimed! Upstairs is simple: tiny bathroom above the kitchen, my bedroom above the dining room: master bedroom above the living room. Attic access through the tiny linen closet; roof atop the porch & solarium; & atop the pantry. Typical Southern Ohio house build during a certain time period. Big ole pine tree in front I used to pretend was a protective spirit. The attached houses you were talking about are called "row houses," & I've only seen them depicted on TV in NYC & San Francisco.

As others have said there is no "average" house. Location is always a factor but even within a single zip code you might find everything from a mansion down to a trailer park. Other factors would include but not be limited to things like square footage, style, lot size, school system, finishes, age, features, taxes, uniqueness, upgrades, etc. To answer your question though Kabir, where I live in central Pennsylvania, which is largely rural and/or suburban with some cities, a somewhat similar house to the Connecticut one with 4BR, 3.5 baths, large kitchen, 4800 sq' (446 sq meters), finished basement, and a pool on a .75 acre lot would run about $900K, but a quick search also turned up properties that were over $1M. As an example of the variety of nearby houses just 3.5 miles away is a perfectly nice 4BR, 2.5 bath, 1800 sq', house on a 1/4 acre lot for just $225K.

Most basements are finished and furnished. He obviously bought his new, which is why his basement is not finished, Basement size typically matches house size.

CT is a rich state so the newer homes are bigger. Attached homes in the USA are Townhomes (suburbs) or RowHomes (city).

I agree that he furnished the house well. He used color and texture to create warmth while keeping things simple. I'm so tired of everything being off white, taupe, and mushroom.

You can get 4 bedroom homes for about $300K-$400K with full features and $250K-$350K with less features (special lighting, recessed ceiling etc).You can find new homes in new developments and if you get in early they can sometimes grant you custom builds. Texas has quite a few such developments about 50 miles ouside of Dallas, Huston etc. Thats a perfect distance from growing cities because it takes a few years until the city gets closer. Your property will increase in value as the city gets closer. Sometimes the property will be enough value by then to sell and payoff and get another with a huge down payment which will lower your mortgage payments. (And it is nice to be the first to live in your home)

I live in a 3br /3 bathroom rancher in North Carolina. The price of a house can vary from state to state and whether the house is in a large city or in the suburbs. $149,000 to around $367,000 for a one story rancher in NC and some have large yards.

Before its size was increased more than 50% by an addition, my 1950s ranch house could have been described as "average." The dimensions were 40 feet by 24 feet (960 sq. ft, 89 sq. meters). There were 3 bedrooms, one bathroom, a living room, and a combination kitchen/dining area. It has a now-finished basement (nearly 960 sq. ft.) and had an attached one-car garage which was demolished to make room for the addition.

I’ve seen this tour on a few channels and THIS is not a tour of an average American house. I am American born in California, raised in Texas and this is a Connecticut house which is a very different market… real estate market, design, price point and land mass.

in North Carolina most homes do not have basements, but this house would go for around $700,000 but it would be on a smaller lot in Greensboro a city of about 275,000 residents

Ct is a state where house values are determined by the neighborhood in which they are located. Because the school districts are community based( as opposed to county based), the value of a house is very heavily linked to the reputation of the community’s school system. This also means higher property tax and a community of higher wage earners!

Kitchens are large and open now because that's where we hang out. That front room won't get used much. I just walked past mine. It's the family room kitchen where all your living time is spent with family and with friends. The formal dining room also doesn't get used. Maybe for Christmas or Thanksgiving. I put a puzzle out on my dining room table the rest of the time

I'm with you on the kitchen. That is a make it or break it deal for me. It has to be spacious, well designed with plenty of cupboard and counter space because I do food preparation and/or cooking pretty much every day, often multiple times each day.

Depends where you are. If in Florida like I am, waterfront is the most expensive.. Sold my childhood home on the water for 3.275M USD, and we sold it as a lot bc the house needed so much work it most likely would have to be rebuilt.

There are lots of row homes around the Philly area. Nowadays they get called townhouses to classy them up. Most were built late 1800s into the 1900s as homes for the workers when there were a lot of factories.

That house is typical of New Jersey, New York and Connecticut known as the tri-state area and most of those homes cost between $1-1.5 million typically. As well as house size ie square footage, location is key and if you’re on a direct train line to commute into Manhattan every day. I have lived in houses as big as this one. My uncle and aunty in Michigan had a house as big with a basement about the same size.

As everyone else has stated, that is not an average home in America. And it very much depends on where you live. Fortunately, where I live, the cost of living is low. The median price of a house is $280,000. So, you've got to think about the kind of life you want to live and what you're willing to pay to maintain that lifestyle.

This is NOT a typical home in the US. When they build what the UK calls a housing estate, most of the homes are 3 or maybe 4 bedroom with 2 or 2.5 baths. If there is a basement, it is unfinished and attics don't even have floors, or only a small space with maybe 1 or 2 sheets of 4' X 8' plywood or chipboard laid down for flooring. The HVAC duct work is usually not in the attic or basement. Usually there is either a eat-in kitchen or informal dining area, but bot a separate formal dining room.

This is way more extravagant than the average house. This house shown is probably 2.2+million dollars . The kitchen is way bigger than average and they have expensive Wayne's coating on all of the walls. Sadly the average house in Florida is close to $500.000 for a 1200 sqft, and it's 15- 20 years old. Great content Kabir

I bought a 1980s Ranch style home that had six bedrooms, three baths and a kitchen that size. I bought it in 2000 for $125,000 in Sacramento, CA. I sold it in 2022 for $560,000. So still very affordable for its size and location.

Land prices and location determine the main aspects of real estate . You could find a similar home for less than a million in many USA states, but it would be in a town away from a city. City prices often double the price of a similar home. So if you NEED to live in a large prosperous city, you’ll pay for it. That kitchen island is at least twice the average length. The amount of space in the attic and basement are unusual in most homes. Also most homes don’t have all the specific use rooms on the main floor. Usually there’s a family room, casual dining area, open kitchen, and bathroom on the first floor with one bedroom (at least for modern homes). But front and back gardens are often much larger than uk ones even in modest homes.

Connecticut has many varieties of houses and apartments. That is the same for most places. Terrace houses are very common in many suburban areas of different states. The thing is: a place in NYC might be relatively smaller than one in the state of Texas. And significantly smaller than many rural parts of New York State (upstate and long island). But the cost in nyc is much more. Same with California. The closest the US has to England would be Massachusetts. And even then, small houses can be extremely expensive. Big houses - astronomical.

Pennsylvania has row houses. I believe that is what you were thinking about. A big block. We have Ranchers in many states, Split level homes, and Colonials. Then there’s town houses and condos, and apartments. Some home developments have a mix of condos and town houses. Other home developments have mixes of various houses - one floors, like ranch. Where my Dad used to live, there were split level and colonials.

In my hometown of Omaha, NE, my best guess is, that home would list for somewhere between $700k and $1 million. Factors that would impact the asking price: precise square footage, closet/wardrobe space, and the school district. Property taxes for that home would run from $12k-$20k, depending on the county's valuation. Our property taxes are payable in equal installments, twice per year.

In the Midwest a house like this could range from 250,000 to 400,000 depending on the locality

If you want to see a closer approximation of an average house, watch a few episodes of Home Town. Especially the early seasons. It just depends on what you need. Smaller towns are a little easier on the wallet, but may involve a commute.

I am about an hour from downtown Seattle. We don't have basements out here. In my neighborhood, that house without the attic or basement, on an acer of land, would run maybe $1m or slightly more. In Seattle proper, on a small lot, that would be closer to $2m. I also would consider it an above average, entry level luxury home for my area. However, in a rural area in the Midwest (with basement & attic), $500k or even less would not surprise me.

The cost of the house is often dependent on what state it is located in. The house I lived in when I was in Midwest was brand new, not much smaller than this one (one less bedroom but the bedrooms were larger than the ones in this house) with the same huge basement with extra high ceilings and a large attic but it was the same price as an older, much smaller and less fancy place in California. Land is very expenisive in certain states and not in others. The yard in California was small, the yard alone with the Midwest house was an acre, so there is a huge difference in prices across the USA. That large basement can become an entire apartment and be rented out. The place I lived in had its own entrance to the basement so that could have been a future build.

That’s pretty nice for average. When I think of average home in the US, I think of a 50s bungalow.

My kitchen is small and it's a galley kitchen. I call it a step-saver kitchen. I love it.

Nowadays here in owatonna Minnesota the houses are around $260,000 - $600,000 but that’s because of the fact that owatonna is expanding in size so we’re getting more people more different income ranges so everything’s going up it’s not just inflation. federated insurance, which is the biggest company here in Owatonna, Minnesota has chipped in to revitalize downtown Owatonna. So we have new hotels and apartments and townhomes being built right now mean you can get a cheap land lot and build a house. Land lots here are starting as low as $48,000 up

Condominiums are like modern row houses like 8 units per complex for example. Make sure you get one with concrete walls separating the apartments for sound control. Try South Carolina or Georgia. Now is not a good time to buy because the prices or out of sight and the mortgage rates a terrible, but what goes up will come done. There are real estate agents who deal internationally. Find one, pick an area and see what info they can give you. As for the house you're reviewing, you have to be making a good living for a home like that, and he's obviously making money.

Differs in different states , income and so many different cultures. Mountain people ,farmers,city people etc.

This guy is a wealthy bachelor! Gorgeous home, large yard, and a porche...this man earns big bucks. I would say that in the past 10 years or so, home prices have gone up considerably all over the US. I can't see this house being under $800,000 anywhere in the country. In California it would be upwards of $2,000,000.

In Cincinnati this house would go for upwards of 650K. Lot size and location would also be a factor in the price. This is a very nice upper class house and definitely not a typical middle class abode.

In Oregon currently this house would be over 1 million dollars. The typical house is 3 bedroom, 2 bath, and in this day probably a rental, costing $1,800 or more a month.

On the low end you could have a 2000 sq. ft. house built in Texas for 150,000.00-190,000.00. An average house built in Texas depends on the stories starting at 200,000.00-375,000.00. for Modular homes it runs around 250,000.00-500,000.00 for stick built.

Yeah, you're definitely not looking at an average home for middle class. This is for a much higher income.

That little formal "living room" at the front of the house is a common feature that has always driven me batty. No one I know ever actually uses that room, and it's a waste of space. In our family we call them "stupid little rooms". Much rather redesign for better flow and more usable space

The house I grew up in was a little over half the size of this house, but also had 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. It was purchased in 1998 for $175k. By 2007, the house was worth over $500k, and today is estimated at $700k.

Most cities have Town Homes or Row Houses (Terraced housing) in High Density housing areas. Even places like Provo, Utah and Springfield, Missouri and Peoria, Illinois. It's common housing everywhere. A nice step between renting an apartment and owning your own house, house. They're usually quite a bit cheaper than free standing homes.

Kabir when you ask us questions specifically like how much does a single person spend for groceries a week. That depends on the person and where they live? Whats an average house where I’m from in Pennsylvania can be totally different in the same state but in a different city. You have to ask someone from the exact city you would be interested in America and ask specifically what type of home you would like to live in. You have to say if you want good schools,shops around and entertainment. America is about location,location and the size of land it sits on. That determines price in America.

That's about $2 million in my city (Nashville) which is on the upper end of the pricing spectrum (but not the most premium). Fixer uppers here are in the $300k-500k range. You'd get something like this for maybe 1/3 of that price in the Midwest, but it's also harder to find work and when you do find work, the salaries in those areas are usually lower too. Most of the houses in America are owned by the older generations. Between inflation, low turnover, and corporations buying up all the starters to turn into rentals, most of the younger generations in this country can't afford to buy and will likely be stuck renting for our entire life.

It is often common to add a thertre to the basement

Depending what state you live in this house could cost anywhere from $600k-!.5 Mil. It's all about location, location, location. The kitchen is pretty standard. I, too like an open plan.

A typical home here in Arizona is single detached house. Property size is .5 acre with 3 car garages. Many homes have more acreage. Average sizes are about 2,500 square footage.

I'm from Illinois, and that house would cost around $200K in the southern part of the state, and probably around $4-500K the closer you get to Chicago or St. Louis.

Hi Kabir! Here in Fort Worth, Texas, real estate prices have really gone up in the last 10 or 15 years. I bought a house in a real nice neighborhood for $93,000 in 1999. It's a single story 2600 square foot, 4 bedroom, 3 bath, with a large den, living room, two dinning area's (one formal, the other casual), large master suite with a huge walk-in closet, 18 by 15 bedroom, dressing area, and full bath. It has a deck in addition to a covered porch in the backyard, and a large covered front porch. I sold it a few years later for $115,000. Out of curiosity I looked up the price the other day. It's now listed for $495,000. In just 20 years it's almost 5 times the price I paid back in '99! I think what's driving up the price is an influx of people moving here from more expensive states, like New York and California. Inflation just isn't that bad.

This is a very nice house. I live in southern Maryland and a house like this would probably run between $499,900 and $599,900. Right now there are not very many houses on the market. Inventory is very low. You have to remember that basements are the footprint of the home so without any walls separating rooms it looks very big and it is.

Here is the thing. Location in the US matters a lot. That house in Connecticut might be a Million and a half. Out in Kansas, maybe $250,000 to $300,000 in many areas. possibly less in some others.

In America those homes are called row homes, we have them just not very many, San Fransisco has many.

Our house is worth about 175000. We have a 1700 square foot brick ranch style house. Three bedroom two bath with a kitchen dining room combo which we completely just remodeled. Love my new kitchen. We also have a living room and my husband has a 300 square foot man cave. We have one and a half acre lot. We live in southern middle Tennessee. We have lived here for 37 years and plan on living here the rest of our lives. I love my home here in the hills of Tennessee

A lot depends on the state and city, as well as the neighborhood, total internal area (square footage), number of bedrooms/bathrooms, and whether it has a decent yard with a pool or not. In a popular part of Southern California, that home could be $1.5M to $2M (but it wouldn't typically have a basement). In another state (North Carolina, Texas, Tennessee) it would be less than half of that and would probably come with a basement. Scope out some areas on Zillow sometime just to get an idea.

We call terrace houses townhouses here. Where I live in the DC suburbs there are probably just as many if not more townhouses than detached (single family) houses. Townhouses and condos are not common everywhere in the US, but they are much more common in dense suburban and city areas. They are super common in northern Virginia. This house would be about 900k in the DC suburbs.

I would say the average normal American house is 1/2 that size. Something like that house 4 bedroom 3 bath 2144 sqft in Minneapolis Minnesota will run you $525K.

I live in Hayward, California approximately 28 miles southeast of San Francisco. My 2 bedroom and 2 bathroom condo (900 square feet) is valued at $600k. There are homes in my neighborhood similar to the one in the video minus the basement, there are no basements in California houses, and the average price is $1.2 to $1.6 million. In San Francisco, this house will easily be priced at $2.5 to $3 million again without a basement. The homes you described earlier adjacent to each other are called row homes. There are plenty of these in San Francisco and depending on the area will cost $1 to $ 4 million.
