I live in Aptos, CA which is on the coast near Santa Cruz, soulthwest of Silicon Valley. The median prices of homes in my area are in the $350+ range.
My own home is 2450 sq. ft, two car garrage, three bedrooms and a den, family room, two decks and around 8,000 sq. ft. of highly landscaped lot. I believe houses of this description go for around $650k+, depending on ocean view. Ocean view property will be $1-10 million, depending. One of the homes in my neighborhood was recently listed for $10 million. But it has a good ocean view.
Everyone here complains about the prices of homes. The Santa Cruz area has long been rated as one of "least affordable" areas in the entire country. This index compares incomes to prices. The median income in our area, in other words, is very low relative to the price of homes.
As a result, even doctors are leaving wholesale due to the very high cost of living.

Winnipeg, Canada, pop. 700,000, largest city & capitol of Manitoba - all in Canadian $$
3 bedroom, 1200 sq. ft bungalow (with finished basement about doubling the sq. ft.), middle class area, $79-120,000.
You can get a decent 2 bedroom for $69 - $85,000.
Riverside properties add $20-30,000.
Suburban estates $250,000 +
You can buy a small house in the not good centre of town for under $25,000, but you might have to remove the bodies of the previous owners yourself.
We have amongst the cheapest housing prices of any major Canadian city.
And we have pro sports teams, theatre, a symphony, a ballet and comparativerly cheap hydro-electric rates... and a socialist government.

I live in a four bedroom, four bathroom, two story (three, including basement) house. We finished the basement to add an additional bathroom and bedroom, as well as an additional family room. The first floor contains a good sized kitchen, family room, living room, and a small study. We have 1.2 acres behind the house. I don't know the square footage, but I believe the house was lat assessed at right around $500k, give or take 20k, depending on the market.
