What does €100,000 buy you in Europe? Real houses, real prices
€100,000 does not buy much in Amsterdam, London or Munich. In the European countryside, it can buy a detached house with land. Right now, 16 of the houses on Cheapaco have an asking price of €100,000 or less. Here is what that money gets you, country by country, using our live listings.
Sweden: a red timber house, often with a big plot
Right now we list 8 Swedish houses at €100,000 or less, from €50,071.

Most are in the north and inland: Västerbotten, Värmland and the Småland county of Kronoberg.

Denmark and France: under €100,000 is rare in our selection
In Denmark and France most of our houses are between €100,000 and €150,000, because we focus on habitable detached houses in nature. Right now we have 2 Danish and 1 French houses under €100,000. In France, €100,000 to €150,000 typically buys a stone house with barns and a large garden; see where to find cheap houses in France. In Denmark, the same budget can buy a brick farmhouse with a hectare or more, if the rules for foreign buyers allow you to buy (see the Denmark guide).
Remember the extra costs
Add purchase taxes and fees on top of the price: 1.5% stamp duty in Sweden, 2.5% document duty in Norway, a fixed fee plus 0.6% in Denmark, and roughly 7–8% notary fees on older houses in France. Then add a survey, legal advice and currency transfer costs. Our general buying guide explains what to budget for.
