At least Toronto keeps the price "reasonable"; that same place would be going for $600,000 (or probably more since it is detached) in a shiatty neighborhood in SF.

That's like $240,000 American.

Yeah, but it's only about 200 ft US.

Well, Ikea has a display for living in something down around 180 sq.ft.

When you get down to it, how much space do you really live in? And how much space is just flotsam and jetsam. I barely use my bedroom. Like Stalin, I nap on the couch rather than getting any real sleep.

thats not too bad actually. Im lookin at a house here in the shuswap lake area of western canada. and a 800 sq ft home on a 1/4 acre is about 200K - 250K

I live in a 300 sq. ft. house so I'm really getting a kick out of these replies...

/I really do.
//it's a cabin in the woods
///296 sq. ft. really. With a 150 sq. ft. porch.

I JUST WANNA MAKE AN OMELET!

If I were to buy it, I think I'd add on another story and make good use of a fireman's pole. Have a rung-type ladder built into one of the walls to get up...

Ya gotto step outside to change your mind...

Where's the shiatter?

Maybe they can find some little people to buy it.

My trailer is just 400 sq. ft. so I'm getting an added bonus to enjoying these comments.

Thanks for the erection.......dude.

Some guy wants to buy his wife a house in the suburbs, with a white picket fence..ONE picket ..

No one needs to live in a mansion like that!

With 800 square feet in my manly mansion have come to two conclusions. I have too much crap and need to learn to throw a few things away.

Although I wouldn't mind having a bigger bathroom.

groovyjman21

Why?

ok, i am a practical kind of guy, so i looked for the bathroom. there doesn't seem to be one... there is a patio outside with a bush. i don't see the point of having a kitchen with not bathroom. i can always eat out, but running down the street to pee during a football game would get old fast.

I knew a guy who lived in his garage with his three sons. It was a large 3 car garage and he had added on a bath room. It had a wood stove in the corner for heat, a cooking stove complete with an oven, a couch a table and chairs and he built an over head loft area to sleep in. He had a house be didn't use it. I don't know why. But he and his kids were perfectly happy in the garage.

where do I put my 108" Sharp LCD?

I think you need an entire sub division of those, only put them on wheels and then I think you have a tornado magnet.

77 square foot former storage room is for sale in Knightsbridge, London for $335,000, or $4,340 per square foot

FTFA: ($1=$1.005 Canadian) Ha ha, suck it Canadians! I could buy that house for only $171144 !!!

Also, what that house needs is a second floor. Uh, if they can fit in a stairs.

DrMcNinja: I JUST WANNA MAKE AN OMELET!


Should have been a real show.

Wow. Here's an example(p) of something you could buy around here for less than that.

There is this one in Buffalo. Looks beautiful. I know someone who lives near the owners and I guess the interior is lovely. (new window)

I have seen this house on the Toronto news (i live in TO), its actually pretty cool and well laid out. Honestly if u put a second story on that thing it would prob be a better deal then the 190k 500sq foot condo you could get here.

groovyjman21: who is that, i cant remember hre name.

Wow, they want way too much for that house. And from the sounds of it, the rest of you are paying way too much for your homes too.

But it'd be so easy to heat. I would have to insist on indoor plumbing, however.

Stray Cat Strut: Wow. Here's an example(p) of something you could buy around here for less than that.

Well no wonder, its in New Brunswick. This house is is Toronto, that makes a big difference.

300 sq. ft. isn't too small.... I lived for five years in an apartment which wasn't much bigger than that.

(depending on the layout of course...300ft could be pretty cramped with a bad layout).

ChewbaccaJones: At least Toronto keeps the price "reasonable"; that same place would be going for $600,000 (or probably more since it is detached) in a shiatty neighborhood in SF.

What's funny is that some clod will pay it just so he/she can say they live in SF with a "view" of the city, even though it might be a view of Oakland in reality.

And 300 square feet? That's a freaking outhouse, not an apartment.

/I utterly hate real estate.

photonut13: Stray Cat Strut: Wow. Here's an example(p) of something you could buy around here for less than that.

Thanks for clearing that up.

I used to drive by the place all the time. I always wondered who lived there.

Now it could be ME!

Hell, I'd rock it in a pad like that...not for 175k but sure if I could buy a 50 sq ft lot and build one myself. :P

Definitely would go with a 2 story design like someone recommended earlier.

I JUST WANNA MAKE AN OMELET!

this is NOT awesome!

the article says "families" lived there

Oh, that house is so cute and so is that little red one, oflinkey! I'd have to get rid of quite a bit of stuff before moving into something like that, but I'd be willing to do that.

The Katrina Cottage designs for small houses are pretty cute...

This is NOT awesome!

Does this mean you'll have to follow the Leafs?

Stray Cat Strut: Wow. Here's an example(p) of something you could buy around here for less than that.

Wow, that's beautiful. What are the property taxes on something like that? Sometimes you can afford the house, but not the taxes (well around here anyway). I have a small piece of property on a lake in NJ and the taxes are 6 g's a year. I'm trying to sell it and get out of here.

"Even though this is only 300 square feet, it looks more spacious than a condo that's 700 or 800 square feet," Lopes said. "It all depends on the layout and the layout of this home was really nicely done."

Ah, real estate agents. The right house is the one you're standing in. It's not small, it's "cozy"!

300 square feet? Weak.

That's how you do it.

But that's just Monopoly mon... oh wait...

Manhattan goes about $2,000 a square foot in places, so thats a nice $600k right there

Bow before the awesome might of my 448 square foot house, tiny Toronto house!

Actually, come to think of it...in college I spent 2 years living in a 300sf dorm room. With a roommate.

I guess it could be done. But not for $170K.
