38 m^2, 2 rooms, 1 bathroom, 169000 € in a rural part of a bigger city in Western Germany.

That's an exception, though. The house is a bit weird since it apparently stands next to a church in the backyard of some other building...

20k. I live in a shit hole

795 k, and it's an absolute dump 1 br in the worst part of town.

$59,900 (Canadian)

704 sqft, 1 story, built in 1905

Not, of course, in a desirable neighborhood, and most of the "recent renovations" scream flipper, but it is cheap...

Genève (Geneva), Switzerland

Cheapest apartment is 38m², 2 rooms, 570'000 CHF (646'000 USD)

That's very cheap. It's a shitty flat but livable if need be.

There's 41 houses/duplexes for sale in my city at or under $50k. The lowest are listed at $5,000 but someone could probably buy it for less. The city also provides $20,000 in money to fix up any of the houses they own.

Does HOA mow your lawn, make you food and drive you anywhere?

Not long ago, 40-50k, now 90-100k.

Damn, I didn't realize I just wasted 45 minutes. No definitive answer, but it seems €30-40k for something that should be repaired, but could be barely lived in.

The absolutely cheapest I found was €17,000 with no photos from indoors, only with description saying it is not suitable for living in the current condition...

Just a couple of years ago I found two houses on Zillow going for $65,000 in Cleveland. A front house/back house situation.

$70k USD - 3 bed, 2.5 bath, 1400sq ft., 0.3 acre lot, two stories and a detached garage. The interior needs plenty of non-cosmetic work (e.g. - new flooring)

$75k USD - 2 bed, 1 bath, 800sq ft., 0.15 acre lot; newly redone floors, electric and paint.

After that, there's about 10 more in the 125-150K range.

2 bedroom, 1 bath mobile home from 1960: $26,900.

$650/mo. HOA fees.

There's no houses that small for sale near me, but the cheapest livable house is about 3x that size, 4br, 2ba, for $150,000, but it's a townhome. If you want a single family you're looking at about $200,000. Central Pennsylvania, USA

Regional Australia.

$250k will get you a 90s apartment or a shitbox in bumsville.

Avg wage is about $80k.

439k, 3 bed , 2 bath.

It gets cheaper, but they are mobile homes and restricted to 55+

I bought my 3BR 1bath SFH, west side of Chicago, for $61K... kinda. To be actually livable it needed another $21K in immediate repairs (electric, plumbing, HVAC).

Luckily I refinanced right before inflation went crazy, so my total mortgage + escrow is $945/mo.

We also looked at a 3-flat building for $2K, but it had a $10K lien on it and all the copper had been stripped, sooooo

Very pricey is all i can say.

In the city at large, I see the cheapest apartment 750sq feet for 18k but you can be sure the whole building is falling down; cheapest empty lot $30k 2,500 sq feet (so maybe do-able if you can build up 2-3 stories, since you aren't actually allowed to build out to the edges of the lot).

Cheapest actual detached house in my 'inside the city, close to work and everything' neighborhood is an eye watering $440k and 1,500 sq feet, cheapest for sale apartment 700 sq ft $140k.

Most EXPENSIVE house in my neighborhood $2,250,000, and most expensive house listed in the whole city, add another zero to that price.
