That's too bad, Lindsay. I live in a small town and our prices aren't too bad compared to other places, but we're an hour and a half from the nearest large city and don't have any colleges. We have one home that's for sale for $500,000 but I don't know who they think is going to buy it! Mostly nice homes are $100,000 and up, with not too many up towards $135,000. We have a lot of lower end homes and fixer-uppers for sale. Of course there are some new homes that if they were to sell would sell for a lot more than that. We were told when we built ours 9 years ago that if we were to sell that there would be no market for a home as expensive as ours but there have been several others that were more expensive than ours built so there is a market for them. We don't have a lot of commerce to keep our young people here so we're turning into a town of retirees. Our schools have half as many students as it did when I was in school 33 years ago.
