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.
A suburb of Detroit with safe streets and good schools, Redford was pummeled when the auto industry melted down -- and home prices have still not recovered.
That's good news for buyers. With an average listing price of little more than $60,000, practically any working family can afford to buy a home.
And they'll get a lot of bang for their buck: This classic Colonial, for example, features a sun porch, fireplace and a two-car garage. And buyers can expand their living space into the unfinished basement.
