What does a home cost here?
Set the size to see where the area sits. A price level for the place, not a valuation of any one home.
Condition, floor, layout and renovations move the price a long way in both directions. A span is the honest answer area data can give.
The square-metre price for apartments is debt-adjusted where the association's loan is known, so the figure sits close to the home's total value. Your share of that loan comes off when you sell.
