WTF is up wth european real estate.
 

I'm looking at this place in paris. it says total area 31 M2.

wtf is that? sqaure meters? That makes no sense. it says:

* Completely renovated
* Total area: 31 M2
* Separate kitchen - newly renovated
* New Bathroom
* 2nd Floor
* Bedroom on courtyard
* Price: Only US$ 175 000!

nm, im a fool. I just looked at the equations and it made perfect sense.

Square meters in English... and around 320 sq feet :thumbsup :1orglaugh

Translation:

I want you all to know that I have $175k to spend.

:winkwink:

31m2 isnt too much dude :)

If you buy a house i would go for 100m2+ for sure.

with paris it is all about location, i like the 5 and 6th arrondissements

it would cost about $30k in Poland :)

ppl should invest in polish real estate

It was not that long ago you could buy a chateau, courtyard, stables and original fittings in France starting around $100K ish. Tho still not near your $30K!! :winkwink:

In my experience, women in poland are:
1) better looking,
2) Nasiter,
3) Cheaper,

4) **And show up on time and ready to work!!!**

what district is that? 31 isnt a lot but Paris is expensive like any big city

you know it :)

5/6 is the best, I love St Germain, great nightlife, easygoing, nice in the center, nice restaurants, the best. Even if you have a small 3 star hotel, the district makes up for it all the way. Theres a block next to the metro 5-6 streets with restaurants ending on the Seine near Notre Dame, thats the best neighbourhood imho...

For real. 31 square meters is very little space.
One tiny room plus very small kitchen/bathroom.

it is, but if its in 5/6 or near the champs its worth a LOT

correction 1 year later: it would cost about $60k in Poland

BTW sucks that wedouglas got banned, someone unban him!

same way they do it here, i can get you a conversion table if u like, but for paris, thatr is a hell of a sized house!!

is that supposed to be much?

Oh, the difference a year makes... :)

Same here on both homes and land... stuff that was $35/sq meter last year is now $70-$75 ish and still climbing. Nice quiet earners with little work...

Correct. It's a fucking closet.

I live in a 130m2 appartment and it seems small to me.

That's what I think, too.

my master bathroom is bigger than that

That's pretty small, gonna give up fucking fat chicks?

u wanna know the drivers of the EU RE market?

i could tell u, but then it took me hours to analyse it.

~5k/m2 is reasonable, but if it's well-place it's a bargain.
The thing is with Paris apts is to see the potential - if it's on the anything >3rd floor without elevator, it sucks. If it has a cave (~6m2) it's a huge plus. If it's on the last floor with roof-space still intact, snap it up.
We bought a 40m2 apt a while back in the 18th, got the permits to break into the unusable roof space and created a mezzanine - pumped up the m2 to 60 and tripled the value in one fail swoop. We made a killing on that tiny apt.

But if you're going to buy in Paris, get a local to give you serious advice, even if you have to pay for it.

--edit and bedroom on courtyard, while it sounds nice, means it is dark.

no it isn't.

bullshit! in Wroclaw flat like this will cost about $60-80k

in other cites like Warszawa or Cracov it will be more expensive

i live in 2 rooms 37m2 flat and it is worth about $80k (240.000 pln)

Poland is ok, but in Estonia is even better.

What was $50k last year now costs nearly $135k. (Thats for a 65m2 apartment)

Same in Ukraine.

Year ago I bought a place for $850 per m2.
Now it costs $2500 per m2.

Sweet :) what are your interest rates nowadays like?

wow, it's fucking expensive

people there earn average $150 per month

no, they earn more.

Noway man. They earn moooooore than that :pimp

you and your friends earn more, but i heard on polish tv that average is $100-$150

in poland everage earnings are $250-$350 per month

prices that you brought are the same as in poland!
$2.5k per m2 is polish price in big city and it is very expensive for normal polish people

But of corse its expensive for normal people.

In Estonia average wage is $800/m and rising now. Specialists get from $1500+/m.

In The Netherlands the basic price is aprox. $150.000/$200.000 I believe (for starters/general sallery).

32m2 is like 2x a kitchen, most student rooms are of this size (aprox. 250/400 euro per month)

yeah and taxes are about 65%? :)

Too much $$$ man !

All real estate prizes no matter is it country in EU or not will raised.That is beacuse there is free market between almost all europe countries.

yeah but you quoted my post from January 2006

DarkJedi probably paid with cash :winkwink:
