How much home can you buy for $200K in various cities (sale, 2015)

Manhattan... wow!

Manhattan is simply not worth it and no one can tell me otherwise lol

Philadelphia, yes. Austin, no.

$200K buys a house out in Dorchester or Berkeley Counties likely 30 or more minutes from downtown Charleston, one of those new postage stamp lots.

I did find it interesting that while SF median price is higher than Manhattan, Manhattan is more expensive on a per sq/ft basis.

What's funny is Austin and San Antonio are maybe 1.5 hours apart, but look at that discrepancy.

Just searched my zip with $220K max. I got a single hit on a 400sq/Ft condo that looks like it hasn’t been updated since the 80s.

Yep, similarly, this one available property is what $200k gets you in my zip. I’m actually surprised that a unit can still be had for under $200k
