This an old & well worn phrase in the UK normally to do with property , it should really be finished with Cost Cost Cost because that's what it's referring to in reality, the premise is the same house will have a widely varying price tag depending on where it is, as an example a two bedroom flat in Knightsbridge London could cost between 3 & 8 million pounds ( 5 to 13 million dollars US ) whereas a couple of hundred miles away a similar flat in Hull NE. England would work out around £150,000 ( $252,000 ) , here in Spain property prices have done nothing but go down since the economy took a nosedive & that same flat in Motril would come in at a little less than the one in Hull, it's a shame I can't buy a place in Motril & stick it in Knightsbridge
That would do me for the rest of my life 
This led me to wonder about prices in other parts of the world, what better way to find out than blog about it on CS & get members to fill in the gaps of my property price knowledge 
By the way if you fancy an all singing all dancing house in Knightsbridge you'd better have around a £100 million handy

Then of course, in a country town... it depends on the area of town and that will often reflect the price. The chant by real estate agents 'location, location, location' will often be used to encourage people to renovate an older home on a 'good' street. :)
I smiled when I realised where Knightsbridge was. My Grandmother lived opposite Hyde Park.
I didn't notice an abundance of For Sale signs when I was in London...so someone is affording those exorbitant prices.
Prices in Germany have gone up, I think they are still low in the former East and some remote areas, but otherwise they got more expensive.

Hmmm , now who does that describe
