Bristol, England.
A two bedroom house would probably set you back about £250k to £300k now. We're the second most expensive city behind London now.
Single family homes starting at $375,000 USD.
High enough that there should be full-on riots, and yet…nothing. Depressing silence. Everyone is just lying down and allowing themselves to be robbed.
It depends on the state. Here it's a couple hundred thousand.
I guess you mean how affordable? Wage vs costs? In my experience for most of western Europe: you can buy something if you're well paid, have 2 years of salary in your bank account to bridge the mortgage gap, and a ton of luck.
