    These homes in my area are around $250 -$300k. Is it possible… You live in a relatively inexpensive place compared to the rest of the country? But that would mean… What is true for your immediate area and personal experience isn’t true for the entire country… No, that can’t be right, that would mean that one person in a small inexpensive town isn’t the arbiter of real estate truth in this country.
