About 15 are part of a new development. These are a couple of the existing homes:</p> <p>[attach=3813/14/n3q3cj.600x394.image.jpg]</p> <p>$1,070,000; 5 br 4.5 ba</p> <p>[attach=3813/14/n3q3ck.600x429.image.jpg]</p> <p>$999,990; 4 br 2.5 ba</p> <p>Houses in our neighborhood range from about $300k to $5.75m. It doesn't all depend on size, since homes with views of the water and/or mountains usually come at a steep premium. It's interesting because a lot of streets have $400k houses right next to $1.75m houses -- I like the variety! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-can-you-buy-for-1-million-in-your-zip-code-right-now/page/2#post-1553842 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 12:22:05 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1553842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here's one for a little over a million.<br /> <a href="http://hemnet.sfd.se/BildLista/Default.aspx?objgid=OBJ32553_1183555577" rel="nofollow">http://hemnet.sfd.se/BildLista/Default.aspx?objgid=OBJ32553_1183555577</a> </p> [attach=1448/14/n3q2wu.600x400.SFD67C074FDCA18487F8E2C0435E50F8F96_800x800.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-can-you-buy-for-1-million-in-your-zip-code-right-now/page/2#post-1553827 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 12:20:09 +0000 LovelyPlum 1553827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only really ugly homes that are gorgeous on the outside but that I would want to rip up and re-do the inside of.
