You can see why I have the impression of double to triple...I think it's probably fair to say that housing in Copenhagen might be almost twice as expensive as Minneapolis. Now, today is at a pretty damn low tide for US housing prices, and the market is flooded with foreclosures and desperate sellers. But that's all part of the picture too, I suppose.
Comparing Denmark to the US average, I think you're looking at more like 150%. Compared with somewhere expensive like New York, it's either par, or just over. So, not cheap. Denmark, and Northern Europe generally, is an expensive place to live. But also a place with high salaries, high equality, and a fantastic standard of living.
