Housing Costs

Rural Housing

Source Travel Guide pg. 17
The following table provides a number of different types of homes and their prices. The prices for housing are the cost to purchase a home outright and the monthly cost. Characters who prefer to rent a home can use the monthly rent costs listed instead. These costs are meant to represent an average cost in most rural areas, but can vary significantly based on location, local regulations, and other factors as determined by the GM. GMs who wish to modify these costs should generally remain within a 15% adjustment of the listed costs. Characters with connections or that have earned local respect might receive discounts on these of up to 10% of the total cost. The cost for additional rooms on a home are assumed to range between 5% to 15% of the home's base cost and includes the cost for material and labor, though the GM is free to vary this as necessary.
