I recently visited London from the US and stayed at my aunt and uncles house on the south coast. Their old little house in is worth £600,000 which is insane (12X what they paid for it), simply because it's a hour or so by train to London! The price inflation of real estate anywhere near London is worse than SF. Compared to that in D/FW area my modern 2000sf house is $180,000.
- JPKab 11y agoThe Brits won't know what you mean by D/FW. (Dallas/Fort Worth metro area in Texas) To be fair, Texas real-estate is super cheap because there's tons of land that doesn't have many trees on it. It makes building new housing stock super quick, easy, and cheap. But to your point, D/FW is an awesome part of the country. Plenty of culture, plenty to do, plenty of jobs. (I'd be lying if I said I like it better than Austin though)
