Alzonit...
I agree with you. My first house here was $16900. My HHR was about $20K.
Although housing here was considerably cheaper than Michigan which is were I came from. Paid $29900 there and sold it 2 years later for $33500 (to move here).

Pricey is relative to what someone makes. Pricey to someone working at Wal-Mart is going to be different to what a Lawyer is going to condsider to be pricey. Now value/cost is another subject. A million will buy you a palace in one location and in another may only be a ranch home. Real Estates famous words: LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION.

I agree about the unbelieveable prices on homes.
Built mine, as a custom, in 1980....cost was just about $80k with the acreage, value now is nearing the "big one" ....makes me feel like Bill Gates....and I would not spend that kind of money for a house.
Only thing is...our newspaper has a section that reveals luxury homes built or sold over the past week. I have a hard time understanding why 2 people would need a house with 6000-8000 square feet, selling for 1.5-3.5 mil. Well maybe on second thought, some men and woman want to live together but NOT live together...if you know what I mean.

I agree with location-location-location. Rural are in central Mississippi 4 bed, 4.5 bath, 2800 sf house and 1525 sf detached garage on 6.18 acres appraises for $324,000. (built for $179,000). Same setup "in town" is over $500,000

Depends on location. My boss's house is 5k sq ft, and was 500k, the house I intereviewed at the other day was 1.2 million and 7k+ sq ft. To me both are pricey and just not needed and to big.
But in all it depends on size of the family and where you live.
