My 1970s 3/2 (1400sqft) in Austin 15 miles from downtown is worth around $400k. It's a huge factor in my family/life decisions. Not even comparable to CA/Sea of course. The neighborhood I'm in is probably 80% boomers (because of pricing, it's a gorgeous place people would love to raise a family).
When I moved to Dallas (significantly more affordable housing) I found that a lot more of my coworkers have families/homes.

- Loughla 8y agoOh wow. Midwest - nearest town is 150k (so we lack some cultural opportunities, but Chicago is within a day's drive). 1900-2000sq ft 4 bedroom, 2 bath, 2 car attached garage with 800 sq ft woodshop, on 52 acres was $140k. And we paid what I thought was too much for the property when we bought it. The lives people in this country lead are so startlingly different sometimes.
