Totally depends on the area...

In the midwest, exclusive of major dense areas (Chicago/north burbs/etc)...

$130 gets you a basic vinyl sided house with carpeting. Some granite, but basically a cheap house with superficial add ons.

$150 gets you all the niceties you want. Granite, hardwood floors. Nicer kitchen. High cielings... Outside is better, though not "super." Think Hardiboard planking, stucco, yada, yada. Usually mass produced by a builder, with small variations to make you feel "special."

$200 is where you start getting into nicer structural improvements. Full brick, Stone. Nice landscaping. Huge garage. Sun rooms. Etc. This is custom, usually with an architect drawing parts of it up.

Then add land...

Stuff down south is cheaper, as labor is cheaper, and foundations are cheaper (no basements)...

Then you have California, which is just stupid, if the TV shows I watch are any indication. 2 million for a pool? $1 million to rehab a 3000 sf house? Then sell for 10mm. Say what?
