Man, you don't know what "pricey" means in America. In England, you
might just get a property for the equivalent of US$100k, but it would be
very small, in an undesirable (i.e. "shit") area, and probably a bit of a "fixer upper" too.
You would normally expect to pay at least the equivalent of a quarter of a million dollars for a "cheap" home in England. A friend of mine owns an apartment in an expensive area of London (near equivalent of "Silicon Valley", wealth wise). The apartment is three bedroom, two reception rooms, and last time it was valued, it was valued at just slightly under ten million dollars. And prices have gone up a lot since then!
