Million-dollar mansion in SF (in some area) is just a somewhat large house elsewhere. = 3 bedroom 1 1/2 bath with a car port.
Had a friend from Santa Barbara visit a few years back. While duiscussing California real estate prices, I asked him, "What would my house sell for out there?"
"Oh, about $700,000."
(it's valued about $130K here in NC)
That is no joke. My niece and her husband bought a house there 10 years ago, it was a small fixer upper. It didn’t need major work but needed paint, flooring, repairs. They paid over $700,000.
