Just looked at some housing data across different countries and the differences are wild. The average price of a house in the US right now is sitting around $368k, which sounds reasonable until you compare it to what people are paying elsewhere.

Mexico's actually a steal if you're thinking about relocating - homes average around $92k. That's less than a quarter of what you'd pay stateside. Canada though? Total opposite story. Their average home price converts to over $500k USD, so you're paying way more up north than down south.

Here's where it gets interesting though. China's got this weird situation where the average price of a house isn't even the main issue - it's the income-to-price ratio that's completely out of whack. Per square meter they're around $2,334, which isn't drastically different from the US, but people's salaries don't match up with those costs at all.

One more thing worth noting - tariffs are messing with everything right now. Construction costs are getting hit, which means the average price of a house in the US could keep creeping up depending on how supply chain stuff plays out. Pretty crazy how much external factors can shift the whole market.
