Many of those houses you’ll end up spending more on renovations to make it livable than you’d spend on the house itself. Then you have the issue of them being in the middle of nowhere with zero services and dying village. Like there’s a reason why no one is buying them.
Also you have to remember that there is a difference in what is rural in Estonia and what is rural in Finland, Finland is 338 472 km² while Estonia is only 45 339 km². Finland is big and when it’s rural, IT’S VERY RURAL.

Yeah, if only the jobs would be in rural areas too, it’s all good. But from what it looks, and I hope I’m wrong, most jobs in the future will be concentrated around large cities. Small towns simply have more expenses than they generate. They will die soon. On way or the other, it seems that the future will force people to move to the large cities.

This might additionally have to do with the fact that Finland is a large country and Estonia isn’t. Drive around Estonia and within 90 minutes you’ll fine yourself in the heart of a “major” town, meanwhile in Finland you can literally be hundreds of thousands away from a mid sized town. That distance from expensive places might partly suppress land costs.

Tallinn new construction is also way too much more expensive than in Finnish Cities.
