Common sense is don't jump into a fire, not the price of building materials........


You get what you pay for thats common sense to me. You might get more in the US but not that much more. 

 

If a house costs 1 million there is a reason for that. Even if you don't see it.

Cheapest 2 bucks most expensive 15.

 

And energy efficency is important in Europe that also costs money for insulation but you get it back over the years. Without knowing all the details it might look overpriced and maybe it is but mostly there are good reasons why houses here are more expensive.

Yes, location. That is why a house that is built the same can cost vastly different in different cities, or countries.Its all about location (and labor which is effected by location). That is why even with in your own country houses may have vastly different prices, with cities being double or triple per square foot compared to rural more open areas.  Land will effect price more than anything. With Europe being older and more built up land has a higher premium. In he US there is more open space than built space, there is plenty of room, so land is cheaper, except in cities.
