Well, here in Turku detached houses range from 265k to 1190k. The most expensive condo is 2580k, but it's 9 bedrooms. Cheapest is 52k.

Finland might be expensive for artists in the future A court there decided that concert goers have the right to get their money back if a concert was bad. I wonder which artist still dares give a concert in Finland

Didn't the Finnish economy actually collapse with the demise of its only significant company Nokia? That's what they said in the news over here. For that reason, I would expect things to be cheaper anytime.

Not only Nokia, but in other fields as well. Finland didn't recover from the economic crisis very well. But we'll manage.

Wow. Everyone always says that housing is so expensive there, but all the prices listed are lower than the general prices where I live. Then again, I live in a very expensive area.

I checked one of the cheaper apartments in my city (cheaper city compared to many surrounding cities), and it came to 19.91 Euros per square meter. This was for a two bedroom apartment.

Hmm? There has to be some kind of a mistake I meant 5,5k€ as in 5500€/m^2.

That seems very expensive. As far as I know, the median m² price in Germany is about €1,600. Here in Düsseldorf it's much more, about €3,500 but not sure. The real estate prices seem to skyrocketing in the last years, at least in larger cities.

Rents are still reasonable priced:

Rents per m² in Düsseldorf starts at €5 / m², the median rent is about €9 / m². Everything above €12 / m² is considered as ridiculous expensive. Those rents can be found in upper clase neighborhoods, mostly very exclusive designed apartments.
