I didn't even know such places existed anymore.
Where I come from, a three bedroom, 1 1/2 house in Jamaica, Queens, aka THE GHETTO goes for $350-400k. The same house (one that is 40 years old, mind you), in a decent neighborhood costs at least $750K.
Here in Seattle, $300K will get you into a "starter" home 40 miles from the city.
Where we lived in Tennessee we had a pretty nice house for 80k.

sure do, I bought a house for 39k in 1999 2 bedroom 2 bath 20x30 detatched garage. In average shape. I can get a nice house for around 80k of course there are some in the half mil to mil range in my area too. but I like my 400 dollar a month house note :p
