I'd need to check, but chances are the "perception" has more to do with currency exchange wedouglas - ie.. for Euro people it may not sound so much.

As long as the dollars remains at a silly level it may be worth looking at countries where the US dollar is "accepted" as a common payment method - places like (often) the Caribbean or Latin America etc.

Literally a couple of years back you could buy complete estates for relatively little money in places like Panama and Costa Rica - tho these are generally shooting up at anything between 25% and 60% in the last few years and show little signs of slowing - but may give "better value" against the dollar.
