What's the average price of a 1 or 2 bed flat (apartment) where you live?

Recommended Posts

Where I live, apartments are things you rent by the month. Condominiums are things that look like apartments except that you buy them. I asked awhile back whether the terms were interchangeable in some cities (seeing the purchase price of an apartment in Manhattan), but didn't get a very good answer.

I always wondered what a condo was, thanks for that:)

1 bed+1 living 35.000 EURO in a good zone
2 bed+1living 40.000 euro
a house with 3 bedrooms+living+3 bathrooms+garden+1 room = 100-150.000 euro

it`s a very good market to invest in... in one year we`ll join EU and the price will explode...

Where I live, they're taking all the apartment buildings and turing them into condos. Most of them are around at $200,000 and up, way more than I paid for my house just 3 years ago.

Depends on where you go. We've got riverfront condos with a yacht club just out the back door and a golf course across the street out front that run from $300,000-$500,000, and I know of very nice, new-ish condos without those luxuries that run around $200,000. I don't know of any 1 bedrooms, and 2 bedroom units aren't all that common. Property is cheap enough where I live that most people just build/buy houses. A couple years ago the gal I was with and I built a new house on a quarter acre lot for $168,000... 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, 2 car garage, 2200 finished square feet. Why would we want to share walls/ceilings/floors with others when we can have that much more privacy for less?

Paid 118,000 u.s.d. for my 2 bed 2 bath condo. Not the largest place, but I like the location. About 15 miles from downtown atlanta, but I'm right by the river which is a national forest area so it's pretty nice. 2 bed 2 baths up the hill from me are 150,000. Downtown 2 bed 2 baths, your lookin at 250,000 up to 1 million or more.

I think out in the 'burbs here in NorCal, condo = townhouse in terminology. You BUY them, apartments you RENT. I tell people I own a 'condo', but I guess it is technically a townhouse since I enter from the outside, I have two floors (I only share side walls) and I have large bedroom size front and back fenced-in areas.

I paid 230K for mine almost 3 years ago and could sell for about 350K right now. This is about 50 miles north of SF (The "City").
