100% Indita de corazon | Why are houses so expensive at some states? |
I saw a show on HGTV and there was this couple who was looking for a house on some place near new york, they looked at some small houses but these were about $300,000 dollars, in Texas you could get a much better and huge one for $150,000, why are they so expensive? |

supply and demand. |

The answer is the old real estate adage. The three most important factors concerning price/value. LOCATION, LOCATION, AND LOCATION !
Texas is huge and has a lot of available land on which to plunk a bunch of new houses. If you want to be reasonably close to NYC, land is as scarce as hen's teeth. Hence, the huge uptick in pricing. |

Location, location, location -- the land a house is sitting on near NYC is worth more than most houses... it's more a difference in property value than home value |

I live in an area where you can't touch a house for below $300,000.00 and those are dumps. I bought 35 years ago, paid 30,000.00 added on once (2 bedrooms 1 bath) and my tax statement for this year placed the value at 850.000.00
It's crazy, how do they expect people to live. |

It is completely due to the housing market. If an area is more popular than another area, housing in that area is going to be more expensive.
I know here in Upstate NY, I could buy a rather large and very nice home for $150,000. Closer to NYC you are looking towards $200-300k for a smaller home.
Suburbs of large cities also tend to be extremely expensive. Alexandria, VA (a suburb of DC), and in the Hollywood Hills are going to be looking at $600k for a small family home. It just depends on the area, population, and job market. |

If you are the seller, then you may think prices are too low. When you are the buyer, then you think prices are too high. It is the same story every time. |

So many people prefer to live in Big cities due to its commercial Importance. When the demand is high and the supply is low is one factor. Another things are Business opportunites, employment opportunities, climate other facilities of quality like education, hospital etc.
It is written in history that people preferred to live on river banks because their livelihood was on agriculture. river banks water and fertile land was available.
In modern Nations most profitable institutions are based on trade which depended largely on Sea ports/ Air ports Commercial institutions etc.
When some business is concentrated in one city some other depended business will also grow. This increases the demand to have commercial/residential areas there.
New York is the commercial Capital of U.S.A . It is evident that world's commercial Giants will catch the maximum space there. |

Cost of housing is relative to the cost of Food, Electric, Tax, Insurance, etc etc, and what people make in a certain area. I live on Cape Cod in a house that sells for $500K$, I can duplicate this house in Arkansas for $150K............but Arkansas isn't Cape Cod on the water across from MV is it? |

It comes down to supply and demand. In places like New York, there are a huge number of people and not a lot of land so housing becomes kind of scarce pushing the prices of housing up and up. Some people are willing to pay a premium to live in NY because of work and the amenities of the city. Their jobs may pay a lot more than what they could make if they lived elsewhere. I think the quality of life is decreased living in places like this but it comes down to what people want. Some people think they have a better quality of life because of the opportunities that exist. NYC is exciting. |

It depends on the local economy. Jobs in the area, etc, etc. |
|
Why!?
|
population demand is higher which raise up the price.
in those area the cost of living must be high as well |

The problem with the cheap house is that you have to live in Texas. Homes are just more expensive in the desirable areas, enough people desire to live there to bring the housing costs up.
I don't think you could pay me enough for me to live in Texas. |

Because people want to live near NYC. Only Armadillos want to live in Texas. |
