How much would this house cost where you live?

[Bunny]

This house is located in Pittsburgh, very near the U. of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon U., and most of the major hospitals. It's listed at $495K, which is pretty expensive for the City of Pittsburgh, but this is prime real estate.

It's got 6600 sq.ft., five bedrooms + study, sunroom, three full bathrooms, two powder rooms, a bunch of fireplaces, finished basement,two-car garage, and butler's pantry. Here are some pictures of the place. I think it looks quite nice.

[bigwillq]

1. I am guessing about 1.5 million

here in CT...could be more depending on what part of the state. IF it was on the Shoreline or down in Fairfield Country, it could go for upwards of $2 million+

[Bunny]

4. Is Fairfield County near NYC?

+2 million? Whew!

[bigwillq]

8. Yeah

Fairfield County borders NY.

[MANative]

78. Absolutely

I live in Fairfield Cty and the house 4 doors down from mine is 5100 sq ft - newish at about 4 years old - with about 2/3 acre of land is on the market for $1.8 million.

[bigwillq]

79. Hello neighbor!

:hi:

I live up in New Haven country and my house was valued at about $350,000, which is only $100,000 less than that house in the pic and my house is no where near as nice. :mad:

[MANative]

89. Hey Neighbor!

I used to live in New Haven Cty - built our first house there about 16 years ago. Moved to Fairfield Cty about 6 years ago, and bought a 3500sf '60s ranch in the mid 300s - great deal from an estate. Latest appraisal was more than double that, and believe me, also nowhere near as nice as the PA house.

:hi:

[greatauntoftriplets]

2. Well over $1 million in Chicago.

That's a beautiful house with a nicely updated interior.

[Bunny]

3. I really, really like it. It's so nice, but not McMansion-y.

:hi: gaot!

Over one million in Chicago? I'm curious to know what this would go for in places like NY, LA, or San Francisco.

[greatauntoftriplets]

6. I like it too...that sunroom is such a welcoming space.

I'd create a sort of garden room in there.

Last year I sold the family homestead (three bedrooms, one bath) for more than $500,000 (half of which proceeds went to my sister) and bought a condo out in a close-in 'burb. The family homestead had only 2,000 SF, plus unfinished attic and basement and was not anywhere near as grand as that house. Nor was it in top condition.

House prices in Chicago are outrageous.

:hi: Bunny!

[Gidney N Cloyd]

14. Easily.

[mopinko]

64. on a lot of any kind of good size- 2 mil.

they are building a development in west rogers park with similar size new homes, with skimpy yards, and starting at $800k.

[greatauntoftriplets]

75. Is that the one where the houses have lots of bedrooms and two kitchens??

Back last summer, I read a Tribune article about the subdivision being built for well-fixed ultra-Orthodox Jews with up to eight bedrooms and two kitchens in accordance with the laws of keeping kosher.

Had the Pittsburgh house not been cheek-by-jowl to its neighbor, it'd be worth even more money.

[mopinko]

92. maybe

the one on pratt and kedzie. i have not been through them. but since the prime spot on the plat is a yeshiva....

[greatauntoftriplets]

95. Yes, that's the one.

Those houses are enormous. Some have up to eight bedrooms.

I knew families that big growing up (Irish Catholic) but you rarely see people with that many kids today. The nuns always disapproved of me for being one of just two, but my mother had great difficulty (a) getting pregnant (b) sick pregnancies. The sawbones told her a third might kill her.

[mopinko]

98. the lubovichters (sorry, sp?) have big families.

had 4 of mine at home, and shared a doc with quite a few of them. no birth control, no vaccinations, etc. so they had a preference for home birth.
west rogers park has a lot of big families.

[greatauntoftriplets]

108. Yes....

and West Rogers Park certainly does.

[grace0418]

99. Depending on the 'hood, more like $2.5-3 million. On my block, the single family

homes are going for over $1 million and they are nowhere near 6600 square feet. Closer to 2500-3000 square feet. Believe me, we've looked, then started crying. We want to stay in our neighborhood so bad but even the decent profit we should get on our condo won't put us in range of buying a house on our street.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

5. Beautiful home, beautiful interior.

[Bunny]

10. Yeah, it's gorgeous.

Another thing to put on my "When I Win the Lottery" list. Sigh.

[LostinVA]

7. 1.5-3 million

depending on some specifics. That's minimum.

[Bunny]

9. What part of VA are you in? Up north, or down by Richmond?

[LostinVA]

12. Central -- trust me, it would cost that much here

It's crazy.

[Catchawave]

88. Norfolk, Va....800k/1.5 mil

...depending on the neighborhood, but my pricing is for near Old Dominion Unv. Put it on the waterfront, add 1-2 million :)

[Midlodemocrat]

60. For that kind of square footage, easily $1.5 million

[stuntcat]

103. Yah in Arlington

It'd be well over a million here.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

11. About $2million in Morris County, NJ

[Bunny]

15. What's funny is that, for the city of Pittsburgh, half a million is pretty

expensive. The suburbs have some of those $2 million homes, but they're in McMansion developments and have none of the character of this place.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

20. Yeah, half a million is fairly cheap here.

And it's not Pittsburgh, which is always a plus.

:hide:

[Bunny]

21. .

:P

[JVS]

40. That's still too much for a house

Also, I've lived several blocks from that house and personally find it's situation to be bullshit. As the crow flies, it's near campus, but the reality is that it's at the top of a hill and you need to go around the hill. It's a pain in the ass. I'd rather have something cheaper in Friendship or Bloomfield

[RPM]

125. True

That house has sketchy to the north, sketchy to the west, sketchy to the east and a college to the south.

Oh - and a major High school 2 blocks away.

That price is probably too high.

[Nikia]

13. I think that it would cost at least that, but I am not sure

The old haunted 3,000 square foot house that we looked at was only $150,000 but it needed work.
The most expensive home that we looked at was $300,000 and that was when we accidently went to the wrong open house (the cheaper house was about 2 blocks up). That house was also 3,000 square feet but had new, high qualtiy everything. The 4,000-5,000 square foot McMansions are around the price of the home in your orignial post, but they are very new.
I guess that since it is an older home, it would depend if everything was in good condition or not. It would probably cost $500,000 or more if it were in really good condition but less if it required over $100,000 in repairs.
Btw, I live in rural Wisconsin.

[Bunny]

23. I guess it would be less in rural areas, but those McMansion homes

that cost so much are just so ugly, generally speaking.

[Nikia]

41. I think so too

Especially the ones located in subdivsions with nearly identical houses very close to each other.

[Gormy Cuss]

16. 2.5 -3 million, maybe more depending on the lot attributes and proximity to amenities.

I live in the San Francisco East Bay area where 2000 SF ordinary older houses are 800K and up. The McNutt house in the city of San Francisco would probably be priced at 5 to 10 million, depending on the neighborhood.

[Bunny]

19. $5-10 Million???

Holy cow! I've heard that SF has crazy housing costs, but wow - that's a lot of money!

[Gormy Cuss]

26. Yep. There's one listing this week for a 5BR/5B Victorian: 7.9 million

That's in one of the more exclusive neighorhoods with views of the bay.

[proud patriot]

74. easily , here in the SF Bay Area

:crazy: I live in a 2 bedroom 1 bath tiny house that's valued
now at $ 350,000 :crazy:

[Auggie]

94. Uh, that sounds like a bargain in the Bay Area

[hfojvt]

17. I think at least $250,000

maybe $350,000. I do not know that much about houses that size nor in that price range.

[Bunny]

25. Do you live in a big city, or in a more rural area?

[hfojvt]

59. depends on what the definition of 'big' is.

The city is 35,000 with a neighboring city of 13,000. The county is 73,000. To me, from a 'city' of 15,000 that's pretty big. However, it is not a city now as much as it is an exurb of KC.

[philosophie_en_rose]

18. 750,000 - 1,000,000

In the Seattle suburbs.

But that house could easily be more, depending on where in the city you find it.

[Bunny]

29. 750K doesn't seem too outrageous.

Anytime you get over the one million mark, it becomes hard for me to imagine how ordinary people can afford that kind of mortgage payment every month.

[philosophie_en_rose]

91. It's probably much more.

A house like that in rural areas would be about 750 thousand, but anywhere close to Seattle would easily be twice as much.

Not to mention, it would likely cost 750,000 to build it yourself. There aren't many houses like that in areas where it would be under a million.

[Nikia]

93. The estimated replacement cost of our current home

Is 150% of its real estate value.

[crim son]

22. Somewhere between $400 - $600K

but it would have gone for more two years ago. It also depends how much property it's on, and if it's right in town or on the outskirts. It's a beautiful home and it looks worth the money.

[Bunny]

27. There is probably not much property, since it's on a city lot. But it is in

a prime section of the city, with universities, hospitals, etc.

[crim son]

48. I live in a 5000 sq. ft. house. We can't afford to heat it.

All repairs or cosmetic fixes are vastly expensive because everything is so big. When I put new counters in the kitchen, the man I was ordering from asked me if the countertop was for a restaurant. The expense is not just the mortgage which we could easily afford, it's all the rest of it.

[Kajsa]

24. In Costa Mesa,CA it would go for 1.5-2 million.

In Newport Beach, Laguna Beach it would go for
4-5 million.

[Bunny]

34. I guess I could see the multi-million dollar cost if you're on the beach.

Is Costa Mesa near the water?

[Kajsa]

53. Costa Mesa is located about a mile inland.

It takes me 10 minutes to get to the beach by car.
We have the ocean breezes and climate.

CM use to be an affordable area, back when I moved
here 23 years ago.

Now, Costa Mesa is right up there with the high priced spread.
We have the beach very close by, a low crime rate, and good schools.
Plus, we have the Performing Arts Center, major shopping areas
and an interesting mix of people for conservative OC. Quite a few
Dems live here.

People who were priced out of Laguna Beach, Newport Beach and
Villa Park ( an expensive inland OC city) moved here.

[Neshanic]

28. God! What a beautifull house. It's like a movie set.

There would be no comparison here in Phoenix, as everything is Dryvit, or stucco over chicken wire McMansions.

[Bunny]

31. That doesn't sound very appealing.

The McMansion part, anyway. Are there nicer, older Spanish mission-type places available?

[Wapsie B]

30. I'd say at least $330k here in podunk,

probably more.

[Bunny]

39. That's a lot of money for Podunk, isn't it?

:hide:

:)

[Wapsie B]

71. Yes it is.

But the thing is there are people here making enough $$ to afford something in that price range or more. They're the doctors, bankers, insurance execs who can still make a pretty decent living here. Not unusual for a surgeon here to make 7 figures. The wage disparity here is fairly large.

Much of Iowa is that way with few jobs in smaller towns paying liveable wages but having an old-guard in every community being quite comfortable, and wondering about all the little people who talk about the bad economy. To them things are wonderful.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

32. I'm going to guess that in the N. Dallas suburbs it'd be about the same.

[Bunny]

36. That surprises me, although I don't know why.

I guess I just assumed that costs would be much higher in a place like Dallas. All that oil money, ya know?

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

49. No, houses are cheap compared to the coasts here.

[Scooter24]

62. When we went looking at houses in West Plano,

we were finding houses in the 3500-5000+ sq ft. range that were starting at about $1.3 million up to around $7 million.

I was a bit surprised, and of course the area is beautiful, but we settled for a 2800 sq ft. home in HP for around $1.5m.

[girl gone mad]

106. I think it would be much more.

At least a million. In Highland Park, it would be at least 2 million.

Pittsburgh has a depresed economy. Our economy is pretty good right now. There are a lot of beautiful homes in Detroit which are selling for less than what they were 10 years ago due to the collapse of the auto industry. If I wanted to move there from Dallas, I could get a place two to three times as big with more land for the price of my current home.

Dallas is cheap compared to the coasts, but we are still more expensive than a lot of depressed midwestern areas.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

111. Actually I didn't see that it was 6600sf until I read it again. Yeah at least a million.

N. Dallas suburbs (Plano etc.) can't really be compared to this part of PGH as it's pretty much McMansions up here. That house is older and has character.

[Redstone]

33. That is a SCREAMING BARGAIN!

The same house in Philly, NYC or Boston would be 3-4 times as much, at LEAST!

Redstone

[Bunny]

35. I sorta thought so. It's funny how much real estate prices can vary.

[Redstone]

37. I'd buy that house in a heartbeat if I was moving to Pittsburgh. Do you know how much

the property taxes are per year? That's a big factor, because you can pay off a mortgage, but taxes are forever.

Redstone

[Bunny]

45. Well, Allegheny County has a property tax website, and incredibly

it looks like property taxes for this place are $1,038/year. That doesn't seem possible, does it? :shrug:

Edited to add that I think $1,038 in taxes is outrageously cheap. I would have guessed closer to 4-5K/year in property tax.

[Redstone]

50. No, that must just be for the county. There must be a city property tax as well.

Redstone

[Bunny]

51. I think you must be right. It just can't be that cheap.

[RPM]

127. that's just the county

city are probably another $7-9 k per annum.

The millage rates are available at that site - i should know them but I am trying to repress them.

I think its roughly 14 mills for the school and 14 mills to the city.

[distantearlywarning]

87. That's the one downside:

Property taxes are quite high in Pittsburgh. I think the figure of less than $1500 must be from an old assessment or something. I would guess at least $5K a year on that house, maybe more.

[Burma Jones]

38. Montgomery County, MD......

Close in to DC or in Potomac - between 2 and 3 million

Further Out (my stomping ground) - about a million depending on lot size.

Damn, I gotta get me a job at Carnegie Mellon's Software Engineering Institute.....I hear Pittsburgh is a damn nice town....

[Bunny]

47. It is a nice town! And CMU is a great school!

Come live here! :hi:

[Burma Jones]

66. My Father-In-Law attended CMU, Electrical Engineering

I also know that CMU has an outstanding Theatre Department (My BA is in theatre and my wife and I met doing a production), Pittsburgh has a great Symphony Orchestra, now, if I could just learn to love the Pirates and Steelers......Hmmmm, maybe I had better start making come contacts....

[dropkickpa]

69. Loving the Steelers is easy!

At least, I think so.

[smtpgirl]

117. I thought that at first, but that house looked like it

belongs on Western Ave. NW DC, near Jenifer St.

[smtpgirl]

118. New-Beawr, I believe that you live right around

the corner from me.

How close do you live from White's Ferry?

[Burma Jones]

123. About 15 minutes

[GoneOffShore]

42. Here in Philly

Probably around the 1.5 mill mark if it was in Chestnut Hill. Bryn Mawr or Narberth might up the price.

[Bunny]

52. Are those places on the Main Line?

[GoneOffShore]

57. Chestnut Hill is in the city limits

but feels like it's the burbs.

Bryn Mawr and Narberth are on the "Main Line". Villanova, Devon, Wayne and St. Davids are also considered Main Line.

[Reverend_Smitty]

43. In the neighborhood I grew up in there was a house just like that down the street

in fact there were several houses that looked like that on my block but since I lived in Trenton real estate values were quite low because of all the crime associated with the city. So a place like that in my old neighborhood would go for less than $400,000

But in the area I'm living now (less than 10 miles from where I grew up) something like that would be easily double that price. Unfortunately houses like that don't exist around me we are stuck with those stupid McMansions that have no personality what so ever.

[Bunny]

54. Shame about the crime rates, isn't it?

And yes, McMansions are mostly dreadful, in terms of character.

[Reverend_Smitty]

61. It really is

When my dad sold our old house we barely got $130,000 for a 4BR 2Bath house and it had a huge kitchen, 2 large common areas, finished basement etc...and now the townhouse we are living at which isn't half as big square footage wise is worth somewhere in the area of $230,000...and these places are built like shit, horrible insulation, the door jams are all crooked and let in a draft but it was in a great school district. I had to go to private school when I lived in the city but it would be a great neighborhood for people with no kids or grown kids because you could get a great value on an awesome 60-70 year old house with character

[SeattleGirl]

44. Probably $2 million in the Seattle area, if not more.

Gorgeous house!

[Bunny]

56. Seattle sounds nice, I've never been there.

Although I did spend a four-hour layover at the airport there, in 1979.

[SeattleGirl]

90. I love it here (except for housing prices!)

I've lived here since 1983, and never get tired of it.

[chknltl]

104. I was thinking about 2 million also...my solution:

It's because of all them immigrants from California. I've been sayin for years we need to put a wall up between Oregon and California....but nooo... nobody listens to old chknltl and now see what we have...ridiculously high housing prices. I say we should round up all those Californians and ship them back to Governor Ah-nold. Laugh if you like but remember my words next time we have another earthquake!

[zanne]

46. $300,000 sounds about right for around here.

Maybe a little more, but it's all about location, right?

[Bunny]

55. Location, location, location.

Yes indeed.

[Scooter24]

58. In Highland Park, TX, you're looking at about $3 million-$5 million...

depending on it's location. Yeah, this once was the home to Dick Cheney. :(

If developed into an estate property here or in the Preston Hollow area, it could probably fetch at least $6 million or more.

I'm paying $1.5m on a 2800sq. ft. home, so I'd say that is a steal for 495k.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

63. Wow, what a gorgeous house!

Here in my town, it would depend on how close you were to the beach.

Assuming you could even get the land needed for such a home by the beach...

It would easily cost $5 million.......and those lots are 30' by 90'!

Back away from the beach, and the cost would come down, but not much...

I'm guessing $3 million in my immediate neighborhood.

:shrug:

[proud patriot]

65. In the SF Bay Area ? ....LOL

if you have to ask you can't afford it ....

[Mz Pip]

67. Looks like a house

one might find up in the Berkeley Hills. 2 million easily.


:hi:

Mz Pip
:dem:

[leftofthedial]

68. probably about $1 million to $1.5 million

in a similar location in Denver. It would depend on the neighborhood. Hard to imagine that house anywhere here for under $900K or so.

that is a large, very nice house.

[NewWaveChick1981]

70. $600-700K depending on the neighborhood.

:hi:

[Digit]

72. Nothing like that in Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill

The closest I found was an estate in downtown Raleigh with over 9000 sf, a 4 car garage, guest house on over an acre for over 3 million dollars.

I like yours better! Much more character!

[Duppers]

73. ~$900,000+

Williamsburg. But I'm just guessing.

[KitchenWitch]

76. Here in Irvine probably 2-3 million

:eyes:

[Initech]

77. In La La Land? Somewhere between $3 - $5 million.

[ironflange]

80. Calgary, Alberta - at least C$2.5 million

This is about the closest I found, though it's only 3300 sq.ft. It does have a pool, although in Calgary that's only usable for a couple of months.

http://www.mls.ca/PropertyDetails.aspx?vd=&SearchURL=%3fPage%3d11%26Mode%3d0%26vs%3d1%26rlt%3d%26cp%3d%26pt%3d20%26mp%3d600000-0-0%26mrt%3d-1-0-0%26Beds%3d4-0%26Baths%3d2-0%26f%3d1%26ft%3dall%26o%3dA%26of%3d1%26ps%3d10%26ptgid%3d1%26aid%3d6266%26MapURL%3d%253fAreaID%253d6266&Mode=0&PropertyID=5186605

Real estate has been going nuts here lately. The house we bought six years ago has more than doubled in the past couple, we could damn near trade our little tickytacky box for that place in Pitts straight across.

[SammyWinstonJack]

81. I wish I had $495k and lived in Pittsburgh. I love Pittsburgh! Lived there

for three years while attending the U. of Pittsburgh. I had the best time and have some great memories! Great house!

[gbate]

82. At least half a million. Maybe more depending on how much land it's on.

[SPKrazy]

83. $300K

more or less

:shrug:

[Spider Jerusalem]

84. In Atlanta, around $1.5-2 million...

for a similar house in a similar neighbourhood (easy to make a direct comparison--there are places like that here in Druid Hills, not too far from Emory University and hospital...historic area with houses of mostly 1910's-1920's vintage, landscape design by Frederick Law Olmstead, etc).

[Bunny]

86. Would you believe my tiny little podunk town in Western PA was

designed by Olmstead?

[distantearlywarning]

85. I drive past this house every day

It's in a prime location if one is a professor or works at a research institution in the Oakland neighborhood. And it's a very pretty house. If I had $500K, I'd buy it in a second (I work in Oakland).

There are many homes for sale in Pittsburgh at amazingly cheap prices for what you get. You can buy literally a mansion here for less than 500K. Rents are low here too. We pay about $800 for a 3-bedroom apartment with hardwood floors and floor to ceiling windows in the best neighborhood in town. We're also buying a house in a few months: a 2 bedroom + den restored carriage house (hw floors, original details, working fireplace, full basement) over a 4-car garage in an upscale neighborhood - less than 100K! The same house in California, assuming you could find a house like that at all, would probably be close to a million.

I love living here. One part of me wishes that more people knew what an underrated city Pittsburgh is, and the other part of me wants to keep it all to myself! :-)

[u4ic]

96. It would easily fetch 1.5 million here

depending on the area of the city - and wouldn't be surprised if it went higher.

[roguevalley]

97. about half where I live. (rural alaska)

[XemaSab]

100. 1.7

At least. This is the closest thing I found.

105. Oh, and Santa Barbara has some of the highest real estate values in the country

The cheapest single family home on realtor.com is $659,000 for a 1000 sf 2 bedroom house built in 1922 and the most expensive is 34 million. :eyes:

[begin_within]

101. In San Diego, anywhere from $1 million to $4 million depending on location

If in the eastern part of the San Diego metropolitan area, $1 million. In the center of the metropolis, $1.5 million. In any beach area, $2 million. If actual ocean front, $4 million and up.

[lildreamer316]

102. I want it.

That is just beautiful.

[Fuzz]

107. That's the kind of house I want.

Lovely detail. Well maintained. Beautiful. And it would go for at least double that here in NJ probably triple.

[kath]

109. 6600 sq ft?? Or was that a typo?

That's a friggin' BIG house! It doesn't look that big in the pic, though it is a bit hard to tell...

[rustydog]

110. over a million in Snohomish, North of Seattle

[babydollhead]

112. Pittsburghers! Check in...lets meet up!

we live in Edgewood. there are over 100 homes for sale in Edgewood. It's a friendly place and we do not pay city taxes,since we are not considered Pittsburgh

[yvr girl]

113. $3,950,000 to $4,580,000 dollars

The houses on the lower end were a bit smaller and around 20+ years old.

Vancouver real estate aint cheap.

114. In my neighborhood, probably

about 350 to 400 grand. My neighborhood ranges from $200,000 to about a $1,000,000.00. I live in the leftover part as I like to call it.

121. There are no houses that look anything like that

here in my little corner of Southern California suburbia. But something comparable sizewise and ammenity-wise would easily go for over two million. Crappy tract McMansions go for over a million here.

131. In My part of Staffordshire UK

5 bedrooms, plus sitting room, plus 6 Car garage, on 5.771 acres. On sale for £2,750,000 (almost $5.4 million). There's also a guest house as well!

It depends on the area you live in. There's a terraced house up for sale up the road from my rental unit. 3 bedrooms (one a loft conversion, one floor with two bedrooms next to each other), a back garden. I've been in houses bigger and for less money in the next town over. It's for sale at £249,950($488,000) (when it was originally put up for sale, it was £275,000; later reduced to £255,000).

People here are saying that's still too much. My partner and I said if we had the money for a mortage we'd put up an offer of £150,000-£190,000 (we live in the same kind of terraced housing that this house is in, so we know the real value of the houses). House prices like that discourage first-time buyers from getting in the market.

132. More than $6.6-Mil

Everything here is generally $1,000 per square foot -- that gets you to $6.6mil and that has property around it, etc. And is a nice style. Could be as high as $10-million here.

[William Bloode]

133. 495k Does not sound bad for the city.

Here that house would run maybe $200-250,000. I do however live in the boonies. In town down the mountain though $500K or better.

[NashVegas]

134. 1.5 to 1.9 Million in Nashville

Not far from Vanderbilt, historic.

[Phillycat]

135. Probably about 1.5-2 million in Philly. Depending on where. nt

137. I found one online with a local realtor with 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths

and 7,000 for $985,000.00.

[Samurai_Writer]

138. 2.5 million or more here in Boulder, CO

Here's one that's similar that is for sale in Boulder. It's not 6600 sf, 'only' about 5000 sf...

139. Looks like a Grosse Pointe home if it were in my area

I'd guess about $1.3 million in Grosse Pointe.

It would depend on the neighborhood in Metro Detroit. In the some of the upscale neighborhoods within the city of Detroit, maybe $750,000.
