Here in Alberta they generally start around $245,000 for a fixer-upper to around $500,000 and beyond dependng on location. There are smaller homes for less but the average is around $350,000.
Less than they were a year and half ago when things were insane and there were bidding wars on the very few houses up for sale.

Is it that low, because no one is buying or is that the normal folks pay for a house?

Around here it really depends on what area you want to live in. You can get a house on the West Side of Charleston for $40-50k because it's a bad neighborhood. Downtown is looking more around $70-120k. South Hills is $150k+ for one side of the road and $300k+ for the other. In Kanawha City (my neighborhood), the price is all over the place. River lots are $500k min, behind those are around $200k, the other side of the tracks are less at around $125k, then up on the hill starts around $1mil.

And then we have smaller towns all around us and these can vary all over the chart too.

We are lucky here though as the housing crisis has barely affected us.

Dublin is getting cheaper by the day..apartments have dropped upon average by 80,000-100,000 euro in the last year alone

Parts of it are becoming Ghost Towns, some folks are simply handing the keys over to the banks, others are moving back home with family and renting out

House prices here in the midlands in the UK are dropping every day, but still way over what the property is actually worth.

Taken from todays local paper

Standard smallish 3 bed, with small garden no garage $300,000

Reasonable 4 bed detached house, garden garage in average area $450,000

both properties are some 100k lower than this time last year

A one bedroomed town house here in Worcester is $178,000




And there was me looking at moving to Dublin to save money

These prices reflect approx 20% adjustment for recent market slow down,

housing in this immediate area is something of a bargain.
