38 m^2, 2 rooms, 1 bathroom, 169000 β¬ in a rural part of a bigger city in Western Germany.
That's an exception, though. The house is a bit weird since it apparently stands next to a church in the backyard of some other building...

Not, of course, in a desirable neighborhood, and most of the "recent renovations" scream flipper, but it is cheap...

There's 41 houses/duplexes for sale in my city at or under $50k. The lowest are listed at $5,000 but someone could probably buy it for less. The city also provides $20,000 in money to fix up any of the houses they own.
Does HOA mow your lawn, make you food and drive you anywhere?
Damn, I didn't realize I just wasted 45 minutes. No definitive answer, but it seems β¬30-40k for something that should be repaired, but could be barely lived in.
The absolutely cheapest I found was β¬17,000 with no photos from indoors, only with description saying it is not suitable for living in the current condition...

Just a couple of years ago I found two houses on Zillow going for $65,000 in Cleveland. A front house/back house situation.

I bought my 3BR 1bath SFH, west side of Chicago, for $61K... kinda. To be actually livable it needed another $21K in immediate repairs (electric, plumbing, HVAC).
Luckily I refinanced right before inflation went crazy, so my total mortgage + escrow is $945/mo.
We also looked at a 3-flat building for $2K, but it had a $10K lien on it and all the copper had been stripped, sooooo
There's no houses that small for sale near me, but the cheapest livable house is about 3x that size, 4br, 2ba, for $150,000, but it's a townhome. If you want a single family you're looking at about $200,000. Central Pennsylvania, USA

$70k USD - 3 bed, 2.5 bath, 1400sq ft., 0.3 acre lot, two stories and a detached garage. The interior needs plenty of non-cosmetic work (e.g. - new flooring)
$75k USD - 2 bed, 1 bath, 800sq ft., 0.15 acre lot; newly redone floors, electric and paint.
After that, there's about 10 more in the 125-150K range.
Regional Australia.
$250k will get you a 90s apartment or a shitbox in bumsville.
Avg wage is about $80k.
439k, 3 bed , 2 bath.
It gets cheaper, but they are mobile homes and restricted to 55+
Handful of townhouses for sale. Cheapest is $225k for 2 beds/1 bath, 1100 sq.ft. The others for sale are about 20k more expensive and are bigger (and there are some that are $$$).
One of the older (60s?) homes in the area is for sale $525k. It's 3 bed/3 baths, 2100 sq.ft. and an ingroind heated pool and half an acre. This is far too cheap for the area so it might be a divorce or something.
Most lots go for about 400k and other houses are 600k. This is in one of the big upper middle class suburbs in the Midwest
