      The Top Places To Buy A House Abroad

      Look What The Median Cost Of A U.S. Home Buys You In These Dream Destinations Overseas

      The Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis reports that the median house price in the United States is US$440,000.

      This isn’t because all Americans live in mansions.

      That US$440,000 isn’t for beachfront. Nor is it buying you a huge house in a gated community.

      That US$440,000 gets you just an average American house.

      What if you took that US$440,000 beyond U.S. borders?

      Well, then, things get much more interesting.

      Let’s take a look at what you could call home around the world for the median price of a U.S. home.

      First, here’s an example of the U.S. baseline. This is what US$440,00 buys you in Miami, Florida…

      A home in Miami, FloridaNot impressed? Me neither.
