If your Moons could buy you a house today, would you do so? Here’s how many Moons a 70m2 (~753 sqft) house would cost you, per country

Had this funny thought experiment today, based on the post stating that Moons are worth more than 100 different currencies (the original one, not the copy pasta from “news” outlets)!
Got some data and decided to make the conversion using today’s prices. I chose an area of 70m2 (~753 sqft) because it is a somewhat acceptable place for two persons and maybe one kid. I’ve used $0.19 per Moon as benchmark.
Top 10 most expensive places are:
City Moons Hong Kong 10.63M London, UK 6.39M Singapore, Singapore 6.25M Beijing, China 5.67M Shenzhen, China 5.28M Shanghai, China 5.15M New York, US 5.12M Zurich, Switzerland 4.77M Seoul, South Korea 4.72M Geneva, Switzerland 4.71M
Top 10 cheapest places are:
City Moons Paramaribo, Suriname 117.67k Antalya, Turkey 201.21k Bursa, Turkey 217.54k Pretoria, South Africa 220.35k Cairo, Egypt 240.88k Durban, South Africa 262.60k Alexandria, Egypt 264.18k Islamabad, Pakistan 269.65k Vadodara, India 277.90k Ankara, Turkey 278.02k
Before doing so I thought that a fair amount of people would be able to buy some real estate out there, but holy molly how expensive has housing become! As per ccmoons, less than 60 people could actually afford a house in Paramaribo:
TL;DR
No one could afford a house in HK at current prices, and few people could afford a house in the cheapest option, Paramaribo, Suriname.
I hope the situation changes if/when Moons have mooned!
