90K - East Tennessee

Better question is cost per square foot.

Rockridge [North Oakland; One of 2 nice parts of oakland], CA
$800K. But that'll get you a whole 1600 sqft, which is $500/sqft. No view
nor water with that.

What difference does it make? You probably couldn't afford it anyway.

County average is $285,000, in my city it's $642,000. Of course, you
could easily get this with a quick Google...

Here's some low prices in rural Oregon...

Not to sound rude, but why do you need to know? First of all, it depends on
how you define "median". Second of all, you can find this information out
by doing some surfing. Thirdly, the average person in this group (not being
a real-estate professional) probably has no idea what the "median" is for
their area -- it could widely differ from the value of their own home and
others they've seen sold recently.

In any city, there are going to be some nearly-unlivable shacks that bring
down the median, and some obnoxious mansions that bring it up. The question
is -- how much would a house that *I* want to live in cost? And that's
relative.

Median - half above, half below.

In WashDC, if you broke it down into county or smaller areas, the
medians would vary widely. In fact, here's some info from
http://www.realtycouncil.com/pricesrose2001.asp

In 2001
Median was $210,000.
"The region’s highest median sales price was in Arlington, at
$290,000, and the lowest was in Prince George’s County, at $154,000."

Depending on location, for ~$200,000 you might be lucky to get a 1000
sq ft ranch.

I know what median means (I have a math degree) -- I just was saying that it
isn't a terribly useful figure for determining housing costs for an
individual. What one really wants to know is "what would my house be worth
in that market", or "what would my dream house be worth in a given market".
The "median" is a nice statistic, but can be wildy skewed depending on the
proportion of extremely rich folk in your area vs the poorest homeowners.

I recently sold my 1962 3 bedroom 2 bath ranch, approx 1900 sf for
$530,000. That was considered cheap. Morris County, NJ.

New homes here start at 1.5M
