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.

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.
