[Picture of a house that will fetch $300,000 in Ottawa]

AllThingsFinancial started a meme about how much real estate can be bought for $300,000 (USD). Responses range from a tiny studio in Manhattan (with doubts about the existence of a washroom) to a palatial 3814 sq. ft. home in Indianapolis.

Houses in Canada’s Capital City tend to fall somewhere between the two extremes. After a quick search on MLS, I found this detached two-storey home listed for $315,900. Located within city limits, the property is on a 35 feet by 105 feet lot and has four bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and an unfinished basement. Other attractions of the house include hardwood floors on the living room and a gas fireplace in the living room.

Update: $300,000 doesn’t go very far in Vancouver.
