I'm running a game on the Swordcoast and one of my players (10th level) wants to buy a house in Baldur's Gate. Anyone know a price range for the Gate and the surrounding land?

Well, you may find these tidbits from Steven Schend to be of some use:- http://web.archive.org/web/20060227223029/http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Castle/2566/ss-buildings.htm

Sorry, Sage, your wayback links appear to be dead.

Indeed.

As I said, you have to copy and paste the entire link, without any space in-between. It should work fine then, unless individual browsers settings are in place which deny access to the old site the material was stored on.

Ah. Thanx. I thought they were two separate links (and I thought they needed to be entered into the address field at wayback). Yes, it works fine. Can you edit them into a single [url] block?

This is an interesting question- but could you be more specific? Are we talking hovels or "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" here?

Unfortunately not. The fact that there exists two hypertext protocols within the one standard URL block still results in the two addresses being seen, rather than shortening the link [like what you'd see when only placing one HTTP address within an URL block].

Pre or post timeskip? Post has BG suffering a massive overpopulation problem, which I imagine would drive prices up.

Does that mean my little cottage near Candlekeep will have good market value?

Something far more than a hovel but I'm really looking for more than 1 price, a range, so I could have more info to decide how much I'd want to price these homes for.

thanks for all the responces guys, I do appreciate it.

I should have included that. I do not play 4e, so this question is regarding dr 1376.
