Your home is beautiful and it was so refreshing to go for a house tour and see the house being truly lived in, not staged. I'm totally envious of your detached garage and the compact yards, also the brick pavement going around to the back of your house gave me a wonderful idea for my parking area and maybe a patio. (no garage detached or otherwise here) Price range is comparable to here in the states. Loved how your kitchen is laid out, very easy to work in. Please tell your partner no worries about the housekeeping, she has done an amazing job keeping everything lovely and tidy especially with a 3mo. old and a grown man to take care of LOL.
Love this comment, thank you!
I have no words.
@@doradaresyou have 4 actually
Depending on the square footage and the acreage of the property, a 3 bedroom 2 bath at $240k is the going rate here in the US of A. Based off of your house Adam I'd say that you have a beautiful home
Aw thank you!
The only thing I would add is it probably would be a detached home.
At least where I'm from:
Ohio 🇺🇲
@MoreAdamCouser I'd say that's about right but double the square footage and add another bath outside of the majority cities.
Here’s what $240,000 gets you in Louisiana 3 beds 2 bath 1389 sqft
@@zabrinaconley9613 what part of Louisiana if you don't mind me asking
Like the saying goes, "location, location, location". I've lived in 5 different regions across the US and theres no way to truly make an equal comparison in different areas. We had a house in Ohio that was 5 bed/3 bath with two 2 car garages on 2 acres and when we sold in 2010 it was $187K. Now we live in southern California and that same house would be $3-5 Million here. We currently live in a single level 1400 square foot 3 bed/2 bath with a 2 car attached garage on a very small lot and its appraised at $891K right now. We are planning on retiring in South East Arizona so we bought 46 acres there and are building a 1900 square foot 3 bed/2 bath home and a 2400 square foot workshop as we speak. If prices dont go crazy in the near future, we will be all in for about $330K.
BULLSEYE!
I was going to say the same. We've lived in Wa state, Vegas, Utah and New York. And the housing prices in each were very different. All roughly the same(ish) but vastly different prices
We need a T-shirt that says "Disclaimer, Disclaimed" 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@MoreAdamCouser Adam, @mitchellglidea254 is on to something, lol.
You have a lovely home! Thank you for showing us. To the lady of the home, please rest assured that it looked plenty tidy!
As for price comparison, it will of course vary widely by region. For a similar set up (semi detached condominium) in north Texas, the price would be close, though you have a better individual back yard than they would have. There would be a common green space in many cases. For a detached home, I think in the cities and suburbs here it would be a bit more money, depending on square footage. Where I live is more rural and prices are lower. For $240k you could have a similar sized home on an acre or two.
I've heard that in New York City, you would be lucky to get an apartment space the size of your kitchen, or less, (in total) for the price your home cost, but I don't know for sure.
Thanks again for the tour.
I greatly enjoy your content. Blessings to you and your family.
Haha thank you!
I live in the uk myself and i must say this is quite a decent sized house for the price, ive always looked at the houses here and find them to be something that doesn't warrant the price, but this house does to me
It does really depend on which state and which county you live in. I live in NY state. In the cities it would be stupid expensive for a detached house but I am upstate near Niagara Falls in a village. We bought a 3,000 square foot detached house (footage Does not include the size of the attic, which is the width and breadth of the house, the basement which is also the width and breadth of the house and the detached garage which is 1,500 square feet with an upstairs that we are converting into a bar) We have a fairly large back yard with a 24ft above ground pool and a decent size front lawn, The house was purchased by the last owners for $95,000 completely renovated and sold to us for $175,000 The house was built in 1899 so is Victorian style. The mother in law could not understand why we would purchase such an old home..... Until she saw it, she declared that it was like a model home. We have in floor heating in the upstairs bathroom a wood fireplace in the living room built in electric fireplace in the "Theater room" steam radiators throughout. With no ductwork in the house we use window air conditioners but I really don't mind. There are 4 bedrooms and a nursery, a parlor and dining room. and a large kitchen that used to have a butler pantry but the wall was removed to make the kitchen bigger. We are very lucky!! I could send you a link to pics if you want :-) You have a very nice house Adam. I am from the UK and we lived in a fairly nice row house which was pretty basic when we were there. I would have loved to have a house like yours. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for show and tell! You could get a condo that size, for that price in a major city. But, you could also get a 3 bedroom farm house, with 12ft vaulted ceilings, 10 acres, and a barn where I live outside a town of 1600 in the country, in Texas for that price as well.
I don’t believe there is a condo anywhere in my city for $240k. Not even a studio, actually. A detached 3-bedroom needing work would be $350k, minimum, and that’s 15 miles from downtown. The cost of housing is very dependent on region, clearly, as are income levels.
That’s a great deal! My house is about the same size and listing price would be about double. Your home is lovely but I too would not be happy if hubby posted a video of our home for all the world to see! 😂 I’ll pray for you young man! 😂😂😂
Just wanted to say it’s been so great to see how far you have come since I joined your community in 2021. Watching you be a dog dad then become a dad to a beautiful baby girl has been amazing. Can’t wait to see what the future has in store for all of you. Love you brother!❤
love ya T
I love your house! My husband is English...we were thinking of moving there and I saw the cutest attached stone cottage and fell in love with. It was smaller than yours but I loved it. It was $190k. It has since been sold and is now a holiday let. Our house here in the US (WAY upstate NY-240 miles from NYC). We have a bigger yard than yours. We have an open fireplace. Your kitchen is so nice and much bigger. We only have one bathroom. Right now, our house is worth about $250k. I'm used to small spaces. Your house is lovely (I hope she doesn't use violence against you!)😁
It looks pretty nice to me.
I bought a 1964 built house before covid. Its about 1200 sq. ft on 1/3 acre within walking distance to everything you need. I paid $135,000. I've put quite a bit of remodeling into it, nothing drastic like moving walls. It needed a new HVAC, new windows, new flooring. During covid prices nearly doubled and continued to rise. They have settled back some. My house would sell for about $350,000 now. Its 2 bedrooms, one bath, attached carport, storage shed in the yard, which is large and fenced for the dogs.
I'm an old grandma and after years of raising my kids and husband (😁). Living in a big house with big payments. I finally bought myself 2 acres of land with a little house about your home square footage. $76,000.00. zero interest. Around $600.00 a month payment. In the country. But near the city all the new subdivision they are throwing up everywhere are starting around $350 thousand dollars and up. It's crazy. They cut all the trees down. Plow the whole area to dirt. Slap 50 houses in there. Put one tiny tree if you're lucky and cheap grass like grows on the side of the highway. It's sad. I love my quiet home in the country where I can garden and sit under beautiful shady oak trees with my cats and dog. Peaceful. No neighbors 10 feet from me. And all the freedom America has to offer.
God bless y'all from the Great State of Texas 🇺🇸
First off Adam, congratulations on your first child. You have a very nice home. In the United States, we run the gambit for types and prices for homes. We have poor folks and rich to wealthy people. We are a large country so it really depends on where you live. In the Midwest where I live. Rural areas are generally less expensive. I live in a suburb surrounding Minneapolis/Saint Paul or as called the twin cities. It’s considered the 7 county region. My location is Blaine in Anoka county. A north of the twin cities. Let’s say a 20-30 minute drive. I have a home described as a townhome. Which is attached to a cluster of 4. Two common walls. Today’s price it’s valued around 230k-270k. Since the pandemic prices have increased considerably. The home was built in 2003. Originally priced about 150k. Its a 2 bedroom 1.5 bath, two story. Attached 2 car garage. Very similar in type as your home. Totally love your content and perspective. Every region North, South, East and West. 48 contiguous states is a very large land mass. Diversity describes its citizens, along with the industry and culture particular people often in a region. I will share photos of my modest home if you’d like. Later Adam
For having a 3 month old your house is not messy at all. I love your house, only thing I would change is the amount of doors. You Brits love your doors 😅
As for what $240,000 would get you in the states it kind of depends on the area. In my city $249,900 will get you a traditional 1 bed 1 bath apartment with 615 square feet. Shared laundry. There are about 20 apartments per building so you better like people. No pets. $232 monthly HOA fees & $250 a month for taxes.
Damn…that make me depressed. The American dream of owning a house is slowly becoming more and more out of reach for so many.
Your home is lovely! The bedrooms are smaller than I expected, but in AZ (maybe elsewhere in the US, too), older builds have smaller bedrooms, too. Newer construction tends to have larger bedrooms and bathrooms. I grew up in a 2400 sq. ft. home, and I would LOVE to have a house like yours.
Your home has a lot more character and charm than 90% of the modern homes in the US.
But depending on which town/city you look at, you can get a comparable semi-detached townhouse or a semi- or fully-detached condo here (similar as far as bedrooms, & bathrooms - backyard is a variable), or in some states, a fully detached home that is much larger than yours. And the parking will be better unless you buy in a downtown/super urban area. And it'll probably have a garbage disposal so you can just f... off with the bananas down the sink to your heart's content.😊
My old home was a 1928 craftsman bungalow. 2 bedroom, 1 and 3,/4bath,1 car garage, basement, living room, dining room, kitchen... it was a beautiful and peaceful place. It was 800 sq ft. And i loved it. Paid 75,000 and was so happy there, because it was what I needed at the time.
You can get the same home you showed for $240,000 here in the U.S., but it will just be bigger. You could find a home with similar trim and options to yours, but it would be larger in scale for both home and yard size.
So, in terms of how nice your house is, that's pretty standard fare here. It would just be basically the house you have there in the UK, but on a larger scale and very possibly a 50/50 chance of having a basement, depending on location and available options in the neighborhood you're looking at.
So TLDR $240,000 grand in the States will buy what you have in the UK, but just bigger.
My house in Wisconsin is $320,000, and it's at least twice as big as your home. And in terms of land area probably at least 6x larger than what you have. And the garage we have is twice as large.
But trim level-wise and amenities, it's pretty similar to what you have. Only a bit more with walk-in closets and a proper laundry room.
So you have a nice home there in the UK. 😊
Congratulations on the new little one.
I really liked your house. It looks very pretty, well built and easy to care for.
So many of the houses I have seen people do a tour of are homes that are not what everyone could afford. The prices for homes here are very dependent on the area and state.
Our house is a one story, 40ft x 24ft, 3 bedroom, one bath house with a full basement. The lot is 70 ft x 123 ft. We've added AC, replaced all windows & doors and had a 2 1/2 car garage built in the back. The price was 40K in 1980, but now is might sell for 110k. Its in good shape and is big enough for the two of us. I always wanted a 2 story house.
It depends on where the home is located. Where I live, it would cost under $100 -120k, but elsewhere, it would cost a lot more. It's all relative to the area and market you're buying in.
First, congratulations Adam on your baby girl! Kids are a great joy, it changes you at a cellular level and changes your orientation in life. Second, you have a beautiful home and tell your partner (if you get a chance before she strangles you) that we all understand that a house full of love is a house that concentrates on the people within, not the items within. Thank you for taking the time to show us your lovely home. Greg
Depends on square footage, type of home and the most important the state, city and region within that city. Alabama home with the same amount of bedrooms isn’t going to be the prices the same as Seattle, Seattle being much more expensive. But still remaining in the south, let’s take a beautiful city in Georgia, like Atlanta, depending on the type of home and how many bedrooms (whether it’s been renovated) will be priced almost the same as a home in Seattle. A 3-4 bedroom home in Seattle is anywhere between $850-1.7. That’s an average so don’t quote me. So it totally differs depending on things many things there’s no “American home price range.” Where I live this price is unheard of. You couldn’t get a town home like this for that price. It would be more like 400 plus. You wouldn’t even get a condo for that price to be honest. Your home is beautiful 🤩
I like your house! Just recently met a chihuahua and she shook a lot, but she still charmed me, so I'm a fan. Housing prices have gone up a lot in the last few years where I live. (Texas) It is hard to find anything for less than $300,000 US now. But, you'd have more land between the house and the street and bigger bathrooms. I don't know if a bigger house is always better. It's tempting but you just find ways to fill it full of stuff and then you have more to clean. Congrats on the baby. I bet she loves the yard when she gets a little bigger.
Dude you da man for showing us this, and come to the USA brother, you could get double the house for that price in Kentucky
That’s crazy, I’d love to!🤣
Bro who tf wants to live in Kentucky.
Hey, this is a great house for a small family!!!! Thanks to you for risking your neck to show your lovely home. Nothing in your house is messy!
Hey - we had 4 generations-11 people plus three dogs-in my 6 bedroom 4 bathroom home. It was busy in there and truly MESSY daily with toddler, baby, my spouse and our kids, and my mother with dementia.
Cooking for that rabble was like hosting a dinner party every day. Dishwasher and laundry going 24x7. Wouldn’t have missed it for the world tho!
Thanks David!
I 100% agree with you about building furniture from flat pack, it's a bitch. The last thing I built was my TV stand and I was short 10 screws and had no directions -- I had to contact the manufacturer and when they sent me an email with the directions there were no words, everything was in pictures, and not good ones at that. Then, the holes where you were supposed to put screws to attach the rails for the drawers were too big, the screws passed right through them, and I had to buy wood putty so the screws could secure. It took three-four days to build because of the missing directions, then realizing I was short on screws, and then another day for the wood putty to dry.
You have a lovely home!
There's not a lot of difference with my experience. We lived in a 3 story (2 floors and a half basement) semi-detached townhouse for about 5 years. It was 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, about 2000 square feet. Right now it's estimated at $275K.
Omg Adam fix that wood 🤣 4:53
Lovely home! Bama here. I have a 1935 farmhouse 20 miles from downtown, 3 bed 2 bath 1800+ square feet on two acres (close to 1 hectre I think) with a 2000 square foot metal barn. Paid $150k 12 years ago... probably around $200k now.
I think you have a rather nice house! For the price...you would get much more in the USA but to be honest, thank God you have a roof over your head and people that care about you! You are the type of guy that we would love to have here in America! Peace, Adam!
Excellent pad out back! I’m jealous. House looks about right for the price in my neck of the woods (Georgia, USA).
why does the wood at 4:53 look like that
Yeah, you are so right.
Omg you as well not just me
f u
Nice home, great backyard and where I live that is about $300,000 to $480,000 with a Postage size backyard plus Community Fees that run around $300. a month. Southwest Florida.
Just something I noticed, at 5:18 that wood panel . . . . .
yeah did notice something? f u
I'm in northern California. We would call your home a town house/ townhome, as it is attached to your neighbor, but 240k in my area would be the cost of a 2 bedroom/ 2 bath house your size. For 3 bedroom, 2-3 bathroom home here starts around 350k depending on which city and neighborhood you live in. I leave between Sacramento and San Francisco. Living between 2 major cities, our home prices are high and climbing. Your home would cost in the higher 300k- lower 400k in this area.
Nice home buddy. So I have lived in a 1 bedroom condo that cost over $400k(NYC), a 3800sqft 4bed2.5bath for $195k(Wisconsin) and 3bed1bath 1800sqft in Florida that cost $95k. Your home based on location is probably right on par with most places. Over here the more rural or further from a city it gets way cheaper.
It's a bit small for $240,000 in the US, but it's more than enough to live a quality life. Your man cave/studio and backyard are surprising given the space. Your property value has now increased. Be sure to keep these upgrades under wraps to avoid additional property tax increases while you're in this lovely home. When you're ready to sell, you reap the profit. Cheers!
You have a great house! ❤ It's really dope. I appreciate your Realness too.
Here in South Texas you may be able to find a bit more house for your $, BUT prices have shot up and are just now starting to fall. We tend to have large front & backyards down here. Most homeowners can park at least 2 large cars or trucks in their driveways. Its just me and my spouse, and we're in a 1 bd/1bth apartment that's only 800 sq. ft. for about $1000 mo. Nothing fancy, but it's not rundown lol. It's quiet. Mostly medical students, nurses, and military. It comes with full size washer and dryer on the balcony. Every apartment has a balcony or a fenced-in backyard area, 9ft ceilings, Air conditioning (heating and cooling), Refrigerator, Microwave, stove, glass back slash in kitchen, 7ft to built-in food panty in kitchen, walk-in closet, valet trash pick-up, hard wood floors (carpet in bdrm),
The complex: Gated, bbq grills, outdoor activities area, volleyball area, outdoor swimming pool, cabana and out door fireplace, 24 hr gym, 2 dog parks, dog washing "facility" (a station lol) and 1 mile walking trail. Down here they also boast how close you are to a highway - meaning easy access anywhere in the city in minutes. We're given up to 3 parking spaces. We rent an extra garage on site and an extra storage space. 😅 It was just me.
Valet trash is great with these stairs. Lol We sit our trash cans by the front door at night and a company toss the bags for us. They don't come on holidays😢
OK, so yeah, your house is really nice. I love it. It is quite quaint, and functional. I was really happy to see that you have an ensuite as well as a regular bathroom. Too many UK homes have only one bathroom or even just a shower room without a tub. The bedrooms are way smaller than what our average homes have here in the states, but the other rooms are about the same. The yard is again much smaller than what we have, but big for the UK! LOVE your man cave!! I think your stairs are steeper than what we have here, which would find me falling too often. The house was NOT messy, don't apologize. It was nicely lived in for sure. The fridge made me giggle, but again, we Americans do like our refrigerators, don't we? The price is good for the UK, that's for sure, and depending on where you put that house in the States it could go from 150,000-1M so yeah...lots of room for comparison. (Good luck with the bird poop)
4:18 you really gotta fix the wood behind the fireplace
Oh I didn't notice that!! Definitely.
In the USA, not only will the prices vary wildly depending on which state/city you live in, the style of houses can be different & the amount of land you would have can vary. In general, 3 bed 2 bath is a pretty standard sized home, though I'd guess that the individual rooms in general will be larger in the USA. Also, the living areas will be much more open plan in the USA. You won't find many American homes where the entrance hallway/foyer is completely sealed off from the adjacent rooms by doors. There may be a trimmed opening from space to space but without a door. That's typically what you find off of the entrance. In other cases, you don't even have an entrance hallway/foyer and you enter directly into the living room.
Honestly, this is pretty standard for the price in my home state of Georgia. It'd basically be a scaled up open plan version of this but essentially the same thing. LOVE THE KITCHEN!!
Edit: Except the nursery. The nursery is a closet, lol.
In the USA you would generally get more proberty and the house would be bigger because we don't waste home space with walls. All those extra walls that are separating rooms take up living space. If your floor plan was open, it would be much bigger inside. My house in Montana is about 4200 square feet and is appraised around 600k but we also have our own natural spring for water and 20 acres as well as a 4 car garage and a shop with lift and pit for auto repairs. My brothers log home that is near me is on 40 acres and is about 6500 square feet. His appraised over a million. The difference is that we built them ourselves for a 3rd of the appraised amount with no mortgages. We both saved money for 10 years while living in cheap rentals, so they would be paid for when we built them. While our friends were driving new cars and going on vacations while paying big mortgages on their homes, we just worked and saved money. Now we can drive new cars and retire early. I highly recommend approaching getting a new home this way for anyone moving here or a young couple.
It’s hard to tell what would be an equivalent house for the same price. Cost of housing varies greatly depending on what area of the US that you live in. My house in the southern part of the country is 3,200 sq feet on three acres. It is an open style interior with three bedrooms and 2 1/2 bathrooms on three levels with a two car garage. I paid $230,000 for it.
A nice home. House prices vary so much in the States because of location and demand. Currently there is a house shortage in many metropolitan areas causing housing to skyrocket. I have to admit, the bedrooms are a bit smaller than I imagined especially since there are few walk in closets. Your yard is a really nice size (especially for people who dislike cutting grass and trimming shrubs. Your video studio is VERY NICE and may well be the envy of most men watching!
Congratulations on the little one! I imagine you and your partner are great parents!
Great video Adam. It is going to totally depend on where the house is. For some places in the U.S. that's a lot for the price while in other places that would be small for the price. Either way it does look like a nice home. 💚💚💚💚
I sold my house three years ago and got $250,000 for it. It was a 4 bedroom house with kitchen, dining, living and family room. Also has a full basement. this set on .67 acres, oh and had a green house in the back that I built out of old windows. This was in Ohio. If I had this property in California, then I would have expected around $600,000 to possibly a Million dollars. In the U. S. it all depends on where you live, in how much you can get for a place
You have a beautiful home man. It’s clean. Clean is good. Why are chihuahua’s always so mean for no reason?
I live in the US and $240k could certainly get you double the space you have easy. Depending on location of course. The type of home you have we call a duplex apartment (one building split into two living spaces) with detached garage. Not very fun to live in when you have a neighbor that like to bang around all day and night.
I love that you have little sleepy spots for your little one in different rooms. I hope that becomes more common with new families here.
Thanks for the tour.
your house is actually beautiful. somewhere around USA have this same setup of a house.. now, from the city i'm from, 240k euro = $250k depending on the neighborhood. you can get a 3 bedroom in a descent neighborhood.. of course in smaller towns that will fetch you a more luxurious homes but it's just far from big cities.
You should look at homes and their costs in the U.S. for a comparison
I’m going to!
Your home is Beautiful!!! Congratulations on your baby!❤
Thank you!
It’s a nice place. Beautiful hardwood floors. There are actually some homes in the northeast in the cities & suburbs that look like your home inside and outside but cost a lot more than $240 for a 3 bedroom. The layout is different because we prefer open floor plans but it’s nice and I’ve definitely been in homes that look almost identical to yours. Also the place was pretty clean for having a new born but I’m with your girl on this one…lol
As women we want the first impression to be immaculate. Hope she didn’t get too upset…lol.
In my state you cant even buy a livable house for 240,000 US.
It would be a house that is a complete fixer upper, and currently not livable.
I know because my daughter and her husband have been looking for a house for 3 years.
You got a great buy! Its a very cute little home.
The US has a great variation in property values by location. Having said that I don't think you could buy a house anything close to yours for $240,000 anywhere in the US today. I'm not sure you could even buy a studio Condo for $240K these days. In a very rural area your house would run $400K to $500K. In the LA basin at least $1M, In a real tony area like Nantucket or maybe Greenwich CT probably closer to $2M.
Beautiful home. Not bad at all for that price. Depending where you live in the US, it varies. I live on Long Island in NY and our home is about $1.1m which is the same size as the house my brother has who lives in Oregon but he paid $600k for his house. My younger brother lives in Utah and paid $700k for his. Our parents live in California in the same house my grandparents bought for $60k years ago but its now worth around 1.5m. Location is a big factor
Where I live semi-detached homes are rare, I wish more where around here since they are a step up from townhomes (every unit is an end unit). A little more than a condo, but cheaper than a single family home.
Pls fix the wood panel Adam! 😂

@@MoreAdamCouser 😂😂
Thanks for sharing. I expected UK homes to be more expensive. Here on the West coast a nice but older style duplex without a garage I would expect to have to pay 10 to 20 percent more. Same size house that was an open-plan detached house and had a garage it would be over $500,000. A similar house that was American sized would be over $700,00 here where I live.
Amazing vid Adam, much love bro.
Like your place. My home is detached, brick, 1200 square feet with full basement. 1/3 of an acre with fenced in back yard. Zillow has been zestimating it at $250,000. This is in TN. I bought it in 2017 at $130,000.
my house worth at least 500k in Canada ... it's pretty small .. has a decent size front and back yard . wish I had 2 bathrooms . it't got a ton of stuff in it though .. I don't really ever sell or thow good stuff out ... heck sometimes I keep broken stuff and tell myself that I'll fix it in the future ... I build and fix computers .. so I might have like 20 or so computers that are like 10 years old ..Lol I also have a massive amount of card board boxes that need to be taken to recycling .. I've been so busy and it's just me so my place is a mess ... but you have a nice house ... I wish I could have that much open space .. but I'd just fill it with stuff if I did LOL
I live in NYC. I don’t live in Manhattan, I’m in Queens, one of the 4 outer boroughs. My house is 75 years old and fully attached (bet you’re jealous). The whole thing is 18 feet wide and about 36 feet long. 3 bedrooms, 1 full bath and a tiny, toilet on the ground level. I do have a basement and a 1 car garage. I think the total above ground square footage is about 1,650 sq. ft. (153 sq. meters). I bought the house in 1997 for $230,000. Today it’s over $800,000. In other parts of the USA, that $800k is a mansion.
1) congratulations on the new baby!!!! 2) it’s entirely dependent upon where you live in the US. Where I live in SWFL (the Gulf Coast, Southwest Florida) it’s about right, except the bedrooms are minuscule! It would be a 1-story (single floor) fully detached home with a garage attached and probably more yard (usually a 1/2 acre here)
Neat house, looks like a comfortable home. The room and house size is what we use to build in the US 30 years ago. Now everyone wants big and then complain that houses are expensive here. My house is about the same as your and here it would be around $450,000 with a half acre.
This reminds me of my townhouse (3 bdrms, 2 1/2 bathrooms.) 1 car garage, walkout basement with plumbed bath all unfinished. Being close to DC I had to pay $335000. Since i bought in 21 it has gained more equity
If this were in the midwest it would have cost a lot less.
6 years ago I picked up a 3,000 sq ft home on 1/3 acre - 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths / 1 half-bath, 2 car garage, open floor plan on the main floor, home theater and basement apartment (kitchen, bath and bedroom with separate access) for about $300k. I've seen other places maybe a little bigger than yours selling in the area for about $240-260k. You didn't do too bad.
You have a lovely home. Here in the U.S. the cost of a home has a lot to do with where the home is. Big cities such as N.Y., Chicago, L.A. (actually the entire state of California) a house your size would probably be double in price if not higher. Areas like our mid-West, some of the Southern states, you might get a house that is about 1/3 larger than yours at that price. As I said, location is everything here when trying to determine cost.
American here. What are you talking about?! You have a nice house! Right now, your house is tidier than mine! 😂 Btw, the bonus too, it’s less area to clean! Just be grateful for what you have. Think about it this way: there are people in the world who have way less than you and less fortunate than you. I love your candor! You’re like a natural comedian! 😂
My free-standing home in a city of around 24,000 people in East Central, Kansas has about 2,000 square feet with two bathrooms and three bedrooms on three levels. The appraisal is about $134,000. It was built in 1950 with steel siding and mostly oak plank flooring. A brand new home on one level with three bedrooms and two bathrooms will be about $200,000. My basement is 60% finished and has a laundry area where the central A/C (heating and cooling) unit is located next to the water heater. My backyard is mostly wood-fenced with a flower garden. I don't know of any homes here that are attached and made of bricks. Your home seems a bit pricey.
I live in Colorado. There might be a few detached houses here for that price but not likely. I RENT a small 3 bed 1 bath house and the tax assesor valued this house at $500,000. I’m comfortable but no one would say this is a nice house. (It is on a big parcel of land tho)
In Poland for 240 000 dollars, which is abuot 1 000 000 zlotys, u could buy a 350 square meters (circa 3 770 square feets) mansion or 135 square meters (circa 1450 square meters) flat. And probably it would be new built.
In the bigger cities I’m guessing that would be about the same in price for size. In the smaller towns you could get a lot more square footage in the house and acres of land with it for that price. Nice place you have there and looked nice and tidy to me, we call that lived in or real life! Tell your wife no worries especially with just having a 3 month old! She’s doing a great job! ❤
Your house is lovely and congrats on your new family member!! 💜 I live in Los Angeles. You can't buy a shed for what you paid for your house. For comparison, my house, built in 1951, is 905 sq.ft. (tiny!!) 2 bedroom 1 bath. Fully detached with a 1 car garage, though I do have a 5,500 sq.ft. lot (so lots of yard). If I sold my house tomorrow, I would get roughly $650,000 for it.
P.S. One of my cats is a psychopath and she should never meet your dog or they could end up destroying the world! (she also growls)8
Similar in cost where I live in the states, but there are areas that you could get a bigger place for that much, and other areas that you couldn’t touch a place like that for that much. Prices very considerably, depending upon where you are. Be nice looking house. I hope it serves you well for a very long time.
I'm selling my house that is 1440sqft, 3br, and 2bth for around 200k but it needs HVAC and roof reshingleing which would cost about 25k and I knocked that much and a little more off the price, though it comes with 19acres of land, a full basement, a two car garage, a shed, and access to a lake. So that should give you a rough idea. It's more rural here so the houses a pretty good prices, though I live in a nicer rural area.
I am with you, I hate to build furniture. I bought a new computer chair from Amazon a few weeks ago, because my current chair is falling apart. It is still somewhat usable, only the back fell off of it, just means I don't have any back support. I got my new chair shipped to me a few weeks ago, got it on sale it was half off, and it is still sitting in the box. I am always like "maybe I will put it together tomorrow."
I appreciate you being an actual human and not some RUclips sideshow.
Yeah, it's all going to depend on location in the US. I have a very similar size house and lot. The only differences being mine is fully detached rather than semi-detached and rather than an en-suite bathroom my second bathroom is on the ground level. I also have a basement but, it's unfinished and is a field-stone foundation so, isn't really good for much besides storage.
But, being in the greater Boston area my house cost $330K USD and that was in 2020. It's probably in the $400K + range now.
Been watching for a long time and I gotta say I’ve always been curious about where you stream at so thanks for that 😂 the home tour was just a bonus
Hahaha appreciate you!
Not a bad pad at all! The spot near the fireplace looks extremely cozy as well. Be proud of what you have man, you're doing fantastic. But as everyone mentioned...fix that wood panel haha
It's a lovely spot and home. I enjoy seeing a home that's lived in like it should be. As for comparisons, I'm in Upstate NY and you'd be able to get a larger home with a larger yard and a basement for less money.
Thanks for showing your home. It's not messy but lived in and quite nice. I'm in the southern Pocono mts. area of Pennsylvania and the price would get you a slightly larger house with a bit of land.
That's actually not bad for $240. If the neighborhood is nice. 100% worth it. Bless the little one🙏
real estate prices in the US is hugely dependent on location. $240k for that amount of space is a STEAL in major cities, but you could get 1.5x to 2x that space for the same 3br/2ba config single detatched housing in a suburb of a mid-sized city
You have a beautiful house i loved it. I live in Michigan and own a house on a 1-acre land it's a huge 2 story, 4 bd 2bath, a mud room, and a nice backyard and a Michigan basement 20 yrs ago, i got it at 99,9 has attached garage and another garage in the back, a huge 18 window front porch. I'm sure every state is different on pricing and also, if it's in town or out of town and corner houses always go for more.
I live in Oklahoma City. I have a 1680 sq ft or 156.07 sq meters house. 3 bedroom. 2 bathroom. I bought it 10 years ago for $82,000. But the value has risen to about 182,000 since then.
Thanks for the tour! 😊
I lived in a six bedroom house with a living room, family room, tv room, office, workout room, 3 car garage etc. until about a year ago and then downsized. However, where I live there is nothing in the $200-300k price range. Even small 2-3 bedroom townhouses now go for $400-500k, it’s ridiculous! Prices are out of control here in northeast US.
Same here in the Northeast. I live in a 4200 sf home, with additional 2000 sf of basement space, about 30 min south of Boston, and I don't think one could buy a studio condo in my town for that price range. Our young adult children are looking at over $400k for a first tiny 1 bedroom condo, and they have to move to another town to find that price range. Our first home was an 1800 sf 3 bedroom we paid $395,000 for in 2000.

You mean your wife. The word partner? Sounds like you’re gay when you say you have a kid with your wife that sounds way better.
Loved this video Adam
thanks mate!
That's about the cost for something similar where I am in North Florida as of late. Looks great. It's hard to process the tiny frig! lol I have that same frig in the garage for beer and sports drinks.
In SoCal a townhouse like yours would easily cost $500-$600K in the Inland Empire and $700-$800K in Orange County
Wow - I would have thought you got a lot more for $240k. I just sold my 5 bedroom, 3-1/2 bath with a gameroom for $275,000 in Houston. I was told it was worth more than what I was asking. It was 2,878 square feet. That is pretty normal for a house in Houston of that size.
Your house is beautiful! So colorful, neat and tidy, very cozy. Love that stove fireplace too. For some odd reason I thought you lived somewhere in Ireland in a small cabin in the woods. Great place.
Thanks for showing your home, love it! Jealous of your kitchen, so much counter space!
The mess in the bedroom…. More like messy shed 😂
Very nice! The price is comparable to a lot of homes in my area. Most are single family homes so you do tend to get a little more bang for your buck. Looking at a real estate site, there's a 5BR/3.5Bath house on a half acre lot at just over 3200 sq ft that is $289K. But another home that has 3BR/2bath on a smaller plot of land at just over 1500 sq ft costs $239k. It all depends on the neighborhood in your city. That same 5br house could be closer to $800k in another area.
Thank you!
You do have a nice place. I was expecting more space, but it's a cozy home. That baby room is soooo tiny though. I bought my home in 2020 in Texas. It is 2600 sq ft, and was $265,000. It's worth about $370K right now, not that I will be selling, since I got a 2.5% fixed rate for 30 years. I'm gonna have to be dragged from this house, haha.
If your home suits your needs and you and your family are happy...that's all that matters. You can have a 5000 square foot home or more and wish you weren't there.
So, being a big or😮 a small home really does not matter. It's being happy where you are and enjoying the life you've got. And it looks like you have that kind of happiness, Blessings!😊
Very nice home you have there. You would get an old fixer upper for that amount now in the states. It really depends on what part of the country you are in. Everything is so damn high right now. I really love your garage/ studio/ mancave.
