Can you get a place to live on $103,733.25 salary in the states?

Just curious to know. Houses are expensive here. So we will need to move out of London.

Yes you can.
That’s a pretty decent salary.
It depends which state/city you live in how far that money will go though. Home prices vary a lot from state/city to state/city. There is a big difference in home prices from Los Angeles California to Davenport , Ia for example. It also depends on the neighborhood in each city. Location location location as they say.

Yes, you can! That’s probably upper middle class salary here depending on the state and city.

We can only afford a house up to the value of £550000or so and we’d need to move away. I don’t know how I’ll cope.

Not moving to the states. Just curious to see what the salary gets us there.

You also want to remember that salary and take home pay are different things. In your country, taxes are higher because you have health care and public transit.

The mortgage is four times the salary apparently. Not take home. The total salary.

Move to Canada. Most places you’d very easily get a nice house for $400k or less.

You’d probably like California or the East Coast like NY or something.

Cheaper to live up north in the Uk.

On the edge of London near the m25 I think houses get cheaper. Not too sure. London is the best. Good transport, and plenty of amenities.

What? Do you mean Davenport, California? I worked at a saw mill there about 10 years ago. I’m beginning to suspect you may in fact be Mister Bowen. Lol jk.

Yes, that’s more than enough to get a nice house even in California where it’s more expensive than most other states.
