    Single bedroom house that is supposed to be a lot cheaper than the “family homes,” that would be in the same area. A 2 BR home may qualify as well. The issue is that they haven’t built any of these type of houses in over 60 years, and the prices are jacked sky high.

      Think it was a rhetorical question, that $800k figure is crazy even by modern standards for a “starter” home.

      In my state, $800k is 3,000 square foot, 4 bedrooms, rooftop balcony, in the capital downtown.

      $400k gets you about the same, just like 5 miles from that downtown with more yard.

      $200k gets you a thousand square foot townhouse built in 2004…

      $75k gets you a thousand square foot mobile home built in 2020 on the outskirts of the capital…
