That's an exception, though. The house is a bit weird since it apparently stands next to a church in the backyard of some other building...

That sounds cheap as an American! Is it affordable with how much money Lithuainians make?

It gets cheaper, but they are mobile homes and restricted to 55+
Does HOA mow your lawn, make you food and drive you anywhere?
Damn, I didn't realize I just wasted 45 minutes. No definitive answer, but it seems β¬30-40k for something that should be repaired, but could be barely lived in.
The absolutely cheapest I found was β¬17,000 with no photos from indoors, only with description saying it is not suitable for living in the current condition...
Regional Australia.
$250k will get you a 90s apartment or a shitbox in bumsville.
Avg wage is about $80k.
I bought my 3BR 1bath SFH, west side of Chicago, for $61K... kinda. To be actually livable it needed another $21K in immediate repairs (electric, plumbing, HVAC).
Luckily I refinanced right before inflation went crazy, so my total mortgage + escrow is $945/mo.
We also looked at a 3-flat building for $2K, but it had a $10K lien on it and all the copper had been stripped, sooooo
There's no houses that small for sale near me, but the cheapest livable house is about 3x that size, 4br, 2ba, for $150,000, but it's a townhome. If you want a single family you're looking at about $200,000. Central Pennsylvania, USA
$70k USD - 3 bed, 2.5 bath, 1400sq ft., 0.3 acre lot, two stories and a detached garage. The interior needs plenty of non-cosmetic work (e.g. - new flooring)
$75k USD - 2 bed, 1 bath, 800sq ft., 0.15 acre lot; newly redone floors, electric and paint.
After that, there's about 10 more in the 125-150K range.
$47,900 for a duplex in the bad part of town.
