In Utah County the cheapest “House” for sale is 600 square feet, 2 bed, 1 bath, at $300k.
So at current interest rate it would be $1,800 a month mortgage(assuming you put the 60k down payment! A decent amount more if you do 3% down.)
The cheapest condo/town in utah valley is 205k, 1,100 square feet, on a 400 square foot lot. But due to a $500 HOA fee the monthly cost is still 1,700 a month (assuming 20% down).
With 3.5% down they’d both be closer to 2.1k +PIMI.
So yeah, how is where you live doing?

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.

Dear heavens, I didn’t realize some places were that rough.
Welcome to Switzerland
Here in London, you can easily find for £120k a nice 100m² garage without plumbing outside of a busy hospital where passerbys go to smoke and urinate.
$70k in my area in NC. It’s a lovely 2bd/1ba, and can keep the rain off your head (mostly). It totally wouldn’t be condemned if actually inspected.
Rule 1 of affordable housing:
No narcs!
According to Zillow, a 3 bed 2 bath with 800 monthly HOA fees for 465k.
800$ per month for HOA is insane.
795 k, and it’s an absolute dump 1 br in the worst part of town.
Where?
In between SF and San Jose, CA
$80k cad - 3 bedroom and 1 bath. Probably needs a good cleaning and upgrade. Bus stop close by. Not so good area but it’s ok.
Lithuania, Telšiai county
14000 Euros
4 rooms
66 square metres
25 ars of land
Excluding mobile homes, you can get a 318 square foot studio in downtown San Diego for only $180,000! Not including the $770/mo HOA fee. I like that the listing includes a lot size of 1.2 acres, as if you get the whole city block to yourself.
SE MI - $100k for a rundown piece of shit
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+
Not answering the question really, but it prompted me to check out property prices in my home town in New Zealand - small town near a small city in the south. Example: 3br “character” wooden villa on a small section, NZ$700k (US$434k, £350k). I had heard about the explosion in NZ house prices, but that really took me aback. The house I live in now, 3br mid-terrace with garden in a similar sized Scottish town, would sell for about £250k. Even that seems crazy expensive, but at least it’s within half an hour of a fantastic city.
(The estate agent’s website lists previous sale prices, it shows the kiwi horror story: 2022: $570k; 2019: $430k; 2011: $271k; 1988: $52k; 1984: $26k.)
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.
When you say front house / back house is that like a duplex?
Two separate houses on the same lot, one is in the backyard of the other.
Oh that’s odd.
