That’s more like an upper middle class house. I’m definitely not rich, but my house is about the same size as his, just older. My property is almost double what his is. I’m in the south, so I probably paid half of what he paid for his house.
There are many types of houses here. Of course there are wealtheir and more middle class homes. But this house is not atypical, these are seen everywhere and you dont have to be rich by American standards to afford them. My house is similiar in design and is 2700 sq ft. 2 story with basement. In Utah our home is valued at 400.000 thousnd dollars.
I live in Connecticut too! We’re in the northeastern part of the US, between NYC and Boston. We have to get building permits to build houses and even garages and sheds. Also, most houses here have basements. They’re not for safety but storage. We rarely get tornadoes, and when we do they’re very small. We get hurricanes and if they’re bad enough people might go into their basement. In Connecticut this house and yard would be considered middle to upper middle class.
I live in California and I think this house looks like many houses but not all. Maybe1/6th of the homes. I live in a small cottage in the forest. We built it 30 years ago. I didn't want a big place to clean. But 2 acres of land with a creek.
We have to have permits to build structures on our land here in the US too. Minor structures like a shed can sometimes be built without one but it may vary by region.
Considering that the house is in CT. (a State in the Northeast corridor), it's safe to assume it's a wood exterior. If it were in an economically depressed area, material would most likely be aluminum or vinyl siding. Estimated value for a comparable property on a parcel of that size is around $3.5 million dollars. You guys are Rockstars!
Just for reference. That’s a pretty average house (in the middle to upper middle class households), depending on your specific area of the country. Lots of ability to customize. They did well
The most coveted lawn grass in the US is the Kentucky Blue, but its not actually from Kentucky, its from Algeria. So, ours simply get a little more water than yours.
Even Brick homes fail in Tornados or Hurricanes. These would homes are made waterproof and well insulated to be warm in cold winter and cool and comfortable during very hot summer months. They can last for centuries if maintained. The USA has many trees so we build homes with them. You will also find brick homes in USA as well.
He's got a newer "update" video on the channel and he says at the beginning that he paid a million for it. I guess loads of people had been arguing in the comments of this first update video, over price VS location and whether or not it would be considered middle class, upper middle or upper class. Some people were insisting that only very wealthy people could afford a house like this, but the majority of commentors were saying that it was a rather typical middle class home, in terms of square footage, building materials and property and that he only paid a million dollars because it's in Connecticut. I happen to agree that the same house would cost half that price in several other states and that location is always a major factor in housing cost differences. I think someone also mentioned that he's in the Darien area, not too far from the beach, which is definitely another factor the higher price that he paid.

The statue is the equivalent to a picture for us. It’s basically a statue picture of his dog. We have tons of arts and crafts here but although he’s maybe newly American as soon as you get here you’ll learn that we are prolific collectors. Everyone picks something to collect, Antique Toys, anything that says Coca-Cola, old cameras, bicycle parts, clocks, glass figurines of kittens chasing butterflies, porcelain dolls the most low key common thing to collect is figurines that look like your pet because they’re cute not to worship and many times because people love giving people figurines of the other persons pet as gifts. It’s like a fun thing to do, so as an example my mother in law when anyone of all her friends are shopping and they find a figurine or anything that looks like her dog they get it for her. Towels, socks, purses, pillows and even shoes because she’s in her 80’s and it cheers her up and to make her laugh. She actually laughs so much when she gets them, and now the poor thing has to have them all out so her friends won’t feel bad when they come over. It’s solely decoration it’s ABSOLUTELY not worship, to us it’s just an equivalent to a picture. No one worships Boston Terrier statues I promise. Funnily enough my mother in law also has the same dog as this man. For some reason it’s one of the easiest dogs to find this stuff of. It’s just us being quirky. Equivalent to him having stuffed animals in chairs. I do understand why you feel the way you do and why you feel at it’s core it’s a no no but to us it’s only an idol if it’s worshipped like maybe someone in India having a Ganesh statue or even cow art since it’s something with religious connotation in their country. In our country a cow statue would be something you have because it’s cute and goofy. Like a doll would be to a child. Nevertheless, I completely understand. For building the US is UNBELIEVABLY picky because we’re obsessed with keeping everything pretty and uniform and the cities go out of their way to try to make it that whatever you built will not cause too much distress to your neighbors. You also have to keep what you build within parameters which we call easements to make sure you’re not building too close to a sidewalk or road or too much in your property edge to the point that it will disturb a neighbor or the cities ability to access underground lines and water for repairs. They also try to make sure your building won’t damage any natural water sources. Add to that then neighborhoods have associations so that you don’t have one neighbor making the neighborhood look ugly by painting their house purple and pink you have to many times as for approval on a new color if you’re changing exterior paint. Of your house isn’t nice it lowers your neighbors property value which is why he said as soon as he moved in to the house the neighbor immediately mentioned to him that his lawn needed work. Our neighborhood they give awards for lawn of the month and you get a plaque outside your house for the month when you win it. They also let everyone know on the neighbors magazine everyone receives.
I've tried to reply to your insightful comment. Three attempts. I'm getting pissed, because the "thought police " are actively suppressing comments that might be provocative or subversive in nature. This is my last attempt.
@@RobertaSirgutz oh I’m so sorry to hear. Yes, I many a time have written a comment recently that immediately disappears. It’s actually very distressing.
In the US location is everything. On the East Coast this house probably sells for over a million dollars, much less in other places. This guy has a really nice house. And yes, it's great to have a basement when the tornado sirens go off.
It is a nice home, typical size for my area too. But the yard is small compared to what I'm used to. All homes in my area have large basements. (Tornados) I don't use the basement, though. (Unless a tornado) It's my husband's man cave. Then he finished the attic (similar to this guys) and I made it into my own personal library because I have over 10,000 books.
People sometimes disbelieve you when you say the average American house looks like this, but average is a very specific mathematical term. An average is determined by adding the total cost of every home and dividing that number by the number of homes. What this means is that some people have houses so expensive that it brings the average up. This house probly costs between 700,000 and 1 million. Depending on the area. Most peoples homes probly cost half this much if they own one at all.
That price might be right for where it is located but this home where I am would be closer to 300-400k. Just a few years ago it would have been between 200-300k. I’m sure in certain areas it still is 200-300k.
@aggravatedHart I was operating under florida prices. I have no idea what they are like in Connecticut. In florida you couldn't move into the very cheapest housing development for that price.
You have to have permits, inspections, approval of building plans and make sure you meet all the codes here in America and they are different everywhere you go.
On a side note, an idol is not only limited to a physical representation of worship, but also an ideology. If wealth is the object at all costs then it can be idolized.

Hi guys this is not a rich person's home, This is what we would call here in the US and upper middle class home. Not everyone in the United States lives and houses like this. Most of us live in houses that are a little smaller than this one, And myself I live in a very very small place it's not even a house, I live in a camper, I chose this lifestyle because it is cheaper to live in a camper than to live in a house. I've lived in two houses and in a condominium in the past, And now I live in a camper.😎
In higher end housing developments they will sometimes have a large lake dug in the middle of the property and arrange the homes so that everyone has a lake in their backyard. Usually stocked with fish.
Most places in the US don't have tornadoes. Most of them happen in Tornado Alley, a section in the middle of the US. Connecticut isn't near there.Where i live, in Texas, we dont have basements.
Of course we often need building permits in the US too-- especially in or near towns. Submit plans for approval just so no one builds a substandard or too radical building that might be a blight on the neighborhood.
This is a nice, common, middle to upper Middle class home. Certainly not what we would call a "Rich person's" "mansion. Might be expensive in Connecticut, but quite reasonable for a professional in Mississippi.
Luckily Connecticut doesn’t really get any earthquakes or tornados. Huge thunderstorms and blizzards in the winter are about all they have to worry about. Also I’d say he’s upper-middle class. There are far more expensive homes in this country and also a couple of decades ago that house would’ve been much more attainable.
This would be an upper middle class home in the United States. The price of such a place would vary wildly depending on location. Connecticut isn't cheap, but it would cost far more somehwere like California. To get that much land alone would cost a fortune. If it had a smaller back yard, this would probably run about $1.5 million in San Diego. No ocean view.
this is a high middle class house..yes, you need a permit to build anything on your property because thats how they tax you. the ore you have in your home/yard they more they tax you. it is insalution. helps keeps the ground floor either warm . basements are usually kind of cool...
There are elite and upper class houses in every country. I have seen houses with one floor and an underground basement; and then there are houses like the one I grew up in where it has two floors and an underground basement. The house layouts are so varied that I can barely keep up.
This is not the house of a rich person. Maybe an upper middleclass person. In Connecticut this house might be 600K to 800K. This house in Georgia, Tennessee or Virginia $450K to 650K depending on the location. I live near Seattle in Washington state and I own a house that is similar to this size and in 2005 it cost $400K and my neighbors (smaller) house sold for $675K. Forget being a first time buyer in this market. You'll need $100K downpayment to even get a bank to take you seriously. This is my 3rd house. Bought my first house in Montclair California in 1990 for $140K. Today that house sells for$757K. Wish I would have kept it.
This is middle class. If it has a pool, it's middle upper class and if they have another pool house, this is upper class. Kitchen chairs are not plastic but metal. Oh yes, you need permits to build, even a porch...you have to see if the neighbours are doing the same thing for it to be allowed or not. You need plans from an architect and submit them....lots of money to build.
The reason the grass and plants are so green is because of the soil and the rain. Florida has a lot of sand and therefore different plants will grow there compared to Connecticut. You guys live in a desert environment so only certain plants can survive there. I live in England and everything is very green, the same as most of Europe.
You don't have t9 be rich to own a home like this. It is a beautiful home. But a lot of homes look like this. My home is a nine room home with a basement and with trees and grass everywhere.
Finally. A video about an average middle class house. I was getting a little tired of people showing of high end houses as if that was normal living for the average American.
The strange thing I notice when I see Europeans home in the US and even foreigners I know living here already. There's no work shop. There are no tools to fix your car or motorcycle. No workbench or anything to build or fix your home ? I dunno ? In other countries, do fathers teach their children to build and fix their homes and cars themselves ? At least cars, your plumbing, electrical ? Does someone come and do that for you. I'm not saying every child, but everyone I grew up around learned those things at least and acquired tools growing up.
A lot of people bird watch. I’m sure he isn’t doing any spying on neighbors. This house isn’t that unusual. And in certain parts of the country it’s not out of reach for lower middle class to afford this type and size of house. Probably not expensive cares with it but what do you need a flashy car for? Houses are more important.
To limit the concept of idolatry to just statues is to not see the forest for the trees. The figures of the Porsches next to the dog are far more likely to become idols than the statue of the dog.
The purpose of posting the renovation of your property is what some people call "House Porn". The intention is to arouse envy in the viewer, while you can feel superior. I owned a summer place similar to this in West Hampton, N.Y. which I sold around seven years ago. Trust me. When you are a homeowner, especially a second home, I coined the phrase "Golden Handcuffs". The maintenance and upkeep of a house like this, and the landscaping costs are astronomical. Plus, your family won't be traveling anymore. Unless you're an Oligarch and money is no object. All that glitters is not gold.
An example of the phrase "House Porn " (lol). People that post this kind of nonsense (without the express purpose of selling), are doing it to elicit envy in the viewer. I had a summer place similar to this, and I'll tell you. It's Golden Handcuffs....maintenance and upkeep are outrageously expensive. As a result, you stop traveling (unless you're an Oligarch). Sometimes I miss it, but I'm glad it's sold, and can begin traveling again! All that glitters is not gold.
This house in SW Connecticut is around $1Million, similar houses in my area of West Michigan would be $600K-750K, in Texas it would be $400K-$500K, Alabama would be around $300K-$400K, California would be from $1M-$2Million. Real Estate is all about location location location. The binoculars at the bedroom window are for bird watching, you’ll notice there are no backyard neighbors to peek into. The statues are Art objects of his dog breed, not religious or symbolic to anything. His office shows his love of flying, he has a private pilots license for small planes and helicopters, and trades and reviews European automobiles

The statues are not for worshipping idols. They are art. And he bought them because they look like his dog.
The porcelain dog is not for idol worship, it's for artsy decorations around the house

That's a typical home, not necessarily rich, but middle class. Though, certainly more expensive now than it would have been a few years ago.
Yeah I watched a reaction where he did an updated tour after this one and he said his house is worth $1 million I believe
@@Kaylan0713 Yep, expensive. Upper, upper middle class.
I’d call this typical.
That is not a rich person's house. It's upper middle class. $400,000-500,000 depending on where it is. Also, Connecticut doesn't have tornados.
I live in Connecticut too! We’re in the northeastern part of the US, between NYC and Boston. We have to get building permits to build houses and even garages and sheds. Also, most houses here have basements. They’re not for safety but storage. We rarely get tornadoes, and when we do they’re very small. We get hurricanes and if they’re bad enough people might go into their basement. In Connecticut this house and yard would be considered middle to upper middle class.
A lot of building codes and building permits needed to build a house in the US. It goes state by state on what is required.
No earthquakes in Connecticut
This would be more of a middle class house.
I live in California and I think this house looks like many houses but not all. Maybe1/6th of the homes. I live in a small cottage in the forest. We built it 30 years ago. I didn't want a big place to clean. But 2 acres of land with a creek.
We have to have permits to build structures on our land here in the US too. Minor structures like a shed can sometimes be built without one but it may vary by region.
The plants are likely real. Some plants only need very little natural light. Put it near a window and you're good.
We use both concrete bottom and wood top. City is usually all concrete. We have alot of trees!
This would be considered a middle-class home. Unfortunately, the middle class is shrinking, and many people are on the far ends of the spectrum.
Considering that the house is in CT. (a State in the Northeast corridor), it's safe to assume it's a wood exterior.
If it were in an economically depressed area, material would most likely be aluminum or vinyl siding. Estimated value for a comparable property on a parcel of that size is around $3.5 million dollars.
You guys are Rockstars!
Just for reference. That’s a pretty average house (in the middle to upper middle class households), depending on your specific area of the country. Lots of ability to customize. They did well

My grandma also had a bulldog standing on its hindlegs, the top of his head was an ashtray, in those days alot of people smoked.
Connecticut is a state between NYC and Boston.
Where i live this would be around 450k
Even Brick homes fail in Tornados or Hurricanes. These would homes are made waterproof and well insulated to be warm in cold winter and cool and comfortable during very hot summer months.

A treehouse in the backyard will be a nice addition to this house.
This house would be around 1M up in Connecticut but here in Texas it would be about half price.

Same in Colorado. But add another 300k-500k for that yard alone.

Gorgeous house, though a bit lacking in personality, IMO. I would say this is the home of a someone who is well-off financially, not typical.
4:38 They are metal chairs. My mom has the same chairs in gray.
Move to the US and work hard and you will get your house on the lake.
The chairs (stools) in the kitchen are made of steel. Not plastic.
No one can afford a house now; prices are double in Canada. The chairs are metal and uncompfortable.

Not actually rich house. Yes, a nice one but ready just a middle class one in the state of Connecticut.
It's regular house
In higher end housing developments they will sometimes have a large lake dug in the middle of the property and arrange the homes so that everyone has a lake in their backyard. Usually stocked with fish.
In Ct he does not nd to worry about earthquakes also dont really nd to worry about too many storms other than winter storms

I think the stools at the kitchen island are metal
Red: you prounced Connecticut perfectly. It is a state in the Northeast. A lot of wealthy people that work in New York and Massachuesetts live there.
And that is a relatively small backyard by American standards
Great comments. Connecticut is a state in the upper North East US.
This is not the house of a rich person. Maybe an upper middleclass person. In Connecticut this house might be 600K to 800K. This house in Georgia, Tennessee or Virginia $450K to 650K depending on the location. I live near Seattle in Washington state and I own a house that is similar to this size and in 2005 it cost $400K and my neighbors (smaller) house sold for $675K. Forget being a first time buyer in this market. You'll need $100K downpayment to even get a bank to take you seriously. This is my 3rd house. Bought my first house in Montclair California in 1990 for $140K. Today that house sells for$757K. Wish I would have kept it.
This is middle class. If it has a pool, it's middle upper class and if they have another pool house, this is upper class. Kitchen chairs are not plastic but metal. Oh yes, you need permits to build, even a porch...you have to see if the neighbours are doing the same thing for it to be allowed or not.

we have to have permits too
The reason the grass and plants are so green is because of the soil and the rain.
Florida has a lot of sand and therefore different plants will grow there compared to Connecticut.
You guys live in a desert environment so only certain plants can survive there.
I live in England and everything is very green, the same as most of Europe.
Where are these guys from?
@@kila4I think they said they're from Algeria. They've mentioned that they live in desert conditions a couple of times.
No guys you need permits to build in North America
We have to get permits to build on our own property.
That WOULD be a normal house in Connecticut.
"Lets assume that" 🤣So, we have the binocular(s) & rifles next to the window too, but usually during hunting season.
You don't have t9 be rich to own a home like this. It is a beautiful home. But a lot of homes look like this. My home is a nine room home with a basement and with trees and grass everywhere.
Finally. A video about an average middle class house. I was getting a little tired of people showing of high end houses as if that was normal living for the average American.
Ummm..I know a lot of people with houses that size…that’s a typical house
The man has $$. House, he said prior, is $1 million.. Connecticut is basically a New York City suburb so lots of money...
I'm middle class and my house is 4 bedroom 2 bedroom and I think it would fit in this guy's basement. That's not a normal house in the US. Lol
You do need permits to build and a builders license.
My house could fit in his basement.
This is a high middle class or just middle class house. This is not a rich house.
The strange thing I notice when I see Europeans home in the US and even foreigners I know living here already. There's no work shop. There are no tools to fix your car or motorcycle. No workbench or anything to build or fix your home ? I dunno ? In other countries, do fathers teach their children to build and fix their homes and cars themselves ? At least cars, your plumbing, electrical ? Does someone come and do that for you. I'm not saying every child, but everyone I grew up around learned those things at least and acquired tools growing up.
This house is upper middle class.
A lot of people bird watch. I’m sure he isn’t doing any spying on neighbors. This house isn’t that unusual. And in certain parts of the country it’s not out of reach for lower middle class to afford this type and size of house. Probably not expensive cares with it but what do you need a flashy car for? Houses are more important.
This was an average middle class home.
People in neighborhoods like that steal from their clients not the neighbors
To limit the concept of idolatry to just statues is to not see the forest for the trees. The figures of the Porsches next to the dog are far more likely to become idols than the statue of the dog.
The purpose of posting the renovation of your property is
what some people call "House Porn".
The intention is to arouse envy in the viewer, while you can feel superior.
I owned a summer place similar to this in West Hampton, N.Y. which I sold around seven years ago. Trust me. When you are a homeowner, especially a second home, I coined the phrase "Golden Handcuffs".
The maintenance and upkeep of a house like this, and the landscaping costs are astronomical. Plus, your family won't be traveling anymore. Unless you're an Oligarch and money is no object. All that glitters is not gold.
An example of the phrase "House Porn " (lol).
People that post this kind of nonsense (without the express purpose of selling), are doing it to elicit envy in the viewer.
I had a summer place similar to this, and I'll tell you. It's Golden Handcuffs....maintenance and upkeep are outrageously expensive. As a result, you stop traveling (unless you're an Oligarch).
Sometimes I miss it, but I'm glad it's sold, and can begin traveling again! All that glitters is not gold.
Those statutes are of the kinda of dog he has .Not to worship 😅 tho the dog seems lk hes loved so much u might think hes worshiped lol
Know plastic chair y would he paint plastic guys
chairs are metal... and ugly
This would be for many people in the USA. This is I would say average home. Nothing special here guys.
You lost me at worshiping idols .. 😂
This house did not cost 5 million. He probably paided 300k-500k. This I'd considered a upper middle class house.
This house in SW Connecticut is around $1Million, similar houses in my area of West Michigan would be $600K-750K, in Texas it would be $400K-$500K, Alabama would be around $300K-$400K, California would be from $1M-$2Million. Real Estate is all about location location location. The binoculars at the bedroom window are for bird watching, you’ll notice there are no backyard neighbors to peek into. The statues are Art objects of his dog breed, not religious or symbolic to anything. His office shows his love of flying, he has a private pilots license for small planes and helicopters, and trades and reviews European automobiles
That's a typical middle class home.
That's a typical middle class type home, an upper class home is not mistaken for a middle class home once you actually see them.
