You didn't understand, I was referring to those "depopulated" places as well. So even thought a population of an area decreased prices don't show that.

That's not really true? Housing in depopulating / depopulated areas can be easily 5-10x cheaper than in premium metro regions.

In picturesque locations, there's upward price pressure because well-off urbanites sometimes buy vacation properties, but that's hardly a new thing.

I take it you've never heard of the 1 euro houses in rural Italy then...?

I take it you don't understand that nobody wants to live there - so considering it as a housing option is a joke. But ok, sorry for making a shortcut in my prev comment.

The point that I and the other commenters are making to you is that house are cheaper in less attractive places. I presented an extreme, but it's true across the spectrum.

These 1 Euro houses are scam. You have to pay for renovation more than it is worth.

It's true you have to pay for renovation. It's not true that it's "more than it's worth", and the proof is that people are buying those knowing about the renovation costs.
