US real estate

Now who would anticipate having to re-plumb a twenty year old house?

Anybody, who ever bought a summer a home at one of the “property hot spots” anywhere
in the world. It seems developers and contractors are the same everywhere. In fact I am

appartement in Spain for years after their purchase in the 70ies.

I’d expect much of Dubai to convert back into sand (or gold dust for that matter) within
the shorter part of 20 years.

remotely like it was to available around here. Due to expansion of the family I am actively
looking for a starter home in the median price bracket and they look mostly like that:
