My uncle is retired so the distance didn’t really bother him. He bought a 1200sq/ft(~111m2) 1 bedroom 1 bathroom house built in the 1890’s in a town with a population of about 900….It was still $87K. So you were pretty much right on.
Well a house like that would be more expensive as well because it’s a turn-of-the-century house (sekelskifte). But a more modern house can easily go for much less. The further from stores, schools and healthcare the cheaper the house.
Holy shit in the US a one room shack 100km from civilization would be like $80000 plus.

It’s just an old town in the literal middle of nowhere farm land USA. It’s a dying town. The 2025 census estimates put the population under 800 now.
