Define "comparatively". Ricky dink suburban ranch homes that are anywhere remotely central, but otherwise nothing special, go for 1.3-1.5 million. Sure, that's cheaper than super in-demand places like the Bay Area, but (a) property taxes are much higher here because we have no state income tax, and (b) it may be cheaper on a per-dollar basis, but salaries here aren't usually as high as SF or NY, and we have way, way, way fewer amenities compared to those cities.
