  The average house in the US costs just under $400K, which is £295K. So they are basically the same price.

    I only wish that was the case in my area. The average price for a house in my state is $660,000.

      Same for here too though. You won’t find many £300K houses in and around London

        Fair point! Grass is always greener, I suppose.

  If you live in a “less desirable area” you can still get a house for less than £100,000 in some places in the UK. You might find yourself with limited job opportunities or a long commute, or poor local facilities though.
