I'm not sure where you are from, but much like anywhere else if you look further away from the city, houses are much cheaper.
I'm from Ontario and I live up north. A nice house way up here (3 bdrm, 2bath...roughly) would go for about $110,000. The exact same house in Toronto or Ottawa would cost $270,000. Canada is nice....but if you want a real Canadian experience, come up north! You might even see a moose.

danoEoboy; you may want to research the current regime and living conditions before moving to Estonia when I visited there 4 years ago it was a shit hole.. But there are some good lookin Eastern Europe woman.
If I were to move to Canada I'd buy my own island near BC.

I'm talking about spending ?4500 thats about $10,000 dollar to you guys.
I can get a 4 bedroom house with a good whack of land in Estonia, is that possible in Northern Ontario?
I doubt it...

You might be able to buy a decent car for $10,000....Probably not a house tho.

that sounds a bit...over exaggerating...maybe 15 years ago you could get a 4 bedroom house with land in estonia for that price...
but not anymore...
been looking at property in estonia for a few months now, something for investment purposes...120sqm flat in tallinn, new development for 150,000 euros..and i thought that was a great price
anyways i went off topic though, i think estonia and the other baltic states are good places to invest

i'm seriously interested to know in what state this 4 bedroom house is in and also, where this property and plot of land is located in estonia.
there's no possible way anyone could get it for that cheap, unless of course, this price was set during a drunken conversation

Check out www.city24.ee then if you don't believe me.
Admmitedly, it won't be in the city and would be a bit shabby for 10,000 dollar.
But think about it, you could be taxied to your home for fuck all.
I'm research Portugal now though, as Estonia is bloody cold...

well my mom just bought a house in our hometown yesterday of MLS.com.
We're in BC, its wicked! 3 hours from Vancouver, i live in a very conscious city (under 100,000 people)... and our propery prices have gone up exponentially each year over the last 5.
Check out Nelson BC for cheap properties. It IS the cheapest place to buy property in BC (40,000 - 50,000 for a small house, or trailer) and it is the absolute wickedest marijuana/hippie/conscious/art community ever - its like Asheville NC but cooler and more grassroots/underground.

Man, Nelson has a wicked city centre, probably 5 blocks high about 3 blocks long... lots of conscious cafes, art gallerys, the BEST Co-op grocer ever, lots of organic food, fair trade stuff, hand crafted artisan stuff, and bustling city centre of conscious friendly people willing to take you in, or accept you, understand and jam out. It sits right on Kootney lake in the valley of HUGE lucious green mountains. Its all old style architecture and they are revitalizing and recrafting some of the big old buildings downtown, all the houses are old and fixxed up and very nice - there is a handful of other communities around the same size scattered along the mountains in all directions.
there's some wicked concerts/mountainbiking/parties upthere...

Thats actually a bit cheaper than Portugal, although I doubt the cost of living and taxes match the cheapness of Portugal.
Its just really hard researching all this. I've litterally spent days! Still to no avail...
I just need a cheap place to live - to me that like square one of my life.
At the moment I'm just stuck in a horrible rat race - just another pawn in the game.

first off, most of those prices are bs on that site and most of the "estate agent" sites that you see in regards to property in estonia are not of true value. there are also extra added fees to include when buying a property there, especially if you don't live in the country, thus possibly doubling the amount you'd have to spend.
yeah it'd definately be a crappy house (not even a house..more like 2 pieces of wood propped up together )

Proove that its bullshit.
You sound a little pesamistic to me, double for the fees?
I don't think so - its a small percentage of the total cost!
Of course, you'd need to pay a translator and a good solicitor as well but that wouldn't be thousands.

there have been articles here in finland in regards to searching for property in estonia via the net where it can be a scam or the actual value of the property isn't what it really is. those wanting to invest are highly urged to visit estonia to assest the property themselves, or else they can easily through their money down the drain. i can't prove to you that city24.ee is bullshit, but i'm not surprised if there are properties on there that aren't valued correctly cause it was just posted by someone wanting to post their property and not through a valid estate agent for example.
i'm going ot estonia in 2 weeks time to take a look at some flats in tallinn and from my personal research (though i've only been looking at seaside towns and tallinn) NOTHING has come up that cheap. the cheapest would be for 30,000 euros for a piece of shit flat.
just going through the city24.ee site, take a look at this:
flat
?ldpind: 51.5 m? Hind: 435 000 kr Koguhind: 435 000 kr (?30,000 approx not inc. fees)
yuck...and it's way more than that property you said you can get for much cheaper...

 HEhehe well I did consider it but I don't drive and I love my net connection to much 
Boo you should check out Croatia, now that really is cheap for some lovely places! Bit too close to Iraq for me though, I know its not that close but its probably got an Alquaida HQ as Bulgaria does in its capitol!
