  1. Me says:

    Yes, I would imagine real estate at those prices won’t last long. I’m guessing the locals aren’t breaking down any doors to purchase the property or esle it wouldnt’ have been so underpriced to begin with; so maybe I do have a chance at owning a mansion at a steal:)

    I personally am excited that the price of owning a home is affordable!   I am closing on my first home next month!!!  The cost of the house I am buying is 30,000 less than it was a year ago at this time.    You can see home values here at http://bit.ly/rM1xoV

    I can not believe that in the center of Moscow there is such a cheap apartment. Perhaps it is from fraud advertising.

    Not sure if the numbers are true, but wow! Cant even buy the smallest HDB apartment for that amount in singapore!
