Where I live it gets you a small townhouse. 45 miles outside Atlanta it gets you a 4000 Sq ft luxury house, in Fairfax it gets you a dump of an apartment.

Pretty much. I just bought a house and it's really fuckin' nice for being just less than $200,000. Better than most people's houses I know and given the age and care that's gone into it, it compares to larger houses worth far more. Built in 1940, the construction is unmatched today.

The flooring on the older houses is so much better than houses build within the last 20-30 years.

Most places?

Without revealing where I live, I'll just say that $200k might get you an okay home in a somewhat shady neighborhood, if you're lucky. If you want nice in a good neighborhood, you're looking at prices starting around $300k.

I concur and I'll state I live in Colorado. If it's a major city in Colorado with 10 miles then 300K+

The reason? All the Californians need to go back.

Where I'm at, that can get you a nice 2 story in a nice area or a townhouse in a newer development.
