American Dream homes: Prices in 9 cities

According to Coldwell Banker, Americans aspire to own a four-bedroom, two-bath home with roughly 2,200 square feet of space. What you'll pay, however, varies dramatically: from an average of $60,000 in Redford, Mich., to $1.7 million in Los Altos, Calif.

Maricopa, Ariz.

  • Average listing price in area: $97,886
  • This home: $100,000
  • Description: 3 beds, 2 baths; 2,150 square feet

Maricopa, a suburb of Phoenix, is a young city, with a population that has grown from only roughly 1,000 residents in 2000 to close to 43,500 in 2010.

Most of the homes, including this one, were built near the height of the housing bubble and many eventually fell into foreclosure.

While there are still plenty of bank-owned properties available, this house (built in 2007) is a conventional sale. Buyers will get plenty for the $100,000 asking price, however, including well-maintained, carpeted rooms and a big backyard. There's also the option to turn the den into a fourth bedroom.
