Nothing, apparently. This is the highest-priced residential property near me at the moment:

You can get a fairly new 2000 sqft home. It's not bad but it's definitely not a mansion.

@Anagram: Ha! That's exactly why we had to move out. But I so miss it....

@SugarplumsMom: Wow! I don't know where you live, but it's beautiful! I love all of those.
The highest priced house is slightly over a million at 1.2, so the closest to a million would be $899,000. It's actually my aunt's neighbor. 7,200sf, 6 beds, 5 full baths, 2 half.

@MrsMate- hey, I live in Columbia/Savin Hill area of Dot!
I love the area too. We currently live in a triple decker-- I would love to buy a single family home in our neighborhood, but alas we don't have millions of dollars.

Or $850k for a 3bed/3.5bath house with 5,200 sq foot.

Only really ugly homes that are gorgeous on the outside but that I would want to rip up and re-do the inside of. I think that defeats the purpose of buying a million dollar property

Here's one for a little over a million.

There are 25 houses in my neighborhood currently for sale for $950k-$1.25m. About 15 are part of a new development. These are a couple of the existing homes:
$1,070,000; 5 br 4.5 ba
$999,990; 4 br 2.5 ba
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!

Haha, I don't get a house for $1mio only a property of ca. 8,000 sq ft...
Ha, this is why we rent...

@SugarplumsMom: Oh your county is the place of my dreams!!
In my town you can buy two things.. a gorgeous condo that i'm totally posting the link to because the company DH and I work for did most of the work in these units..I designed my first ever commissioned custom closet for this specific unit (and they didn't even picture it )

Oh, or you can buy this trailer park in the scary part of town, 48 mobile homes for 995k.

@Anagram: haha I used to live in Jersey City so those prices look familiar to me. We moved to Texas late last year so now we could buy this for a little over a million. The difference in housing prices has been crazy!

@MrsTiz: ha!
This one is $1.2 million. Beachfront with 5 bed/3 bath

there's a (very nice, recently renovated) studio apartment for sale in my building for $925,000. so, 1 room + bathroom.

2 streets over is a house that listed for $1.4 million, 3 br, 3 ba, 3500 sf. 2 streets over in the other direction is a listing for $1.2 million for 5 br, 3 ba, 3800 sf. Sigh. Why we'll never be buying in this neighborhood!

@MrsSCB: funny! We moved from Dallas to Jersey City (and now hoboken). Small world!

Depends on the school it is zoned to. An OK 3000 square foot home built in the 70s or a 4500 square foot home built in the 80s and rennovated.

@SugarplumsMom: Where are you in Sweden? My family is Swedish (from Gavle and Stockholm) and I have spent some time there. LOVE the yellow house!!!

@littlek: That's small?! Looks pretty big to me!!
In my exact zip code there is only one for $999,000. It is a 2 bed, 1 bath cottage (864 square feet) on a third of an acre, but it is directly ocean front with a private dock and deeded beach rights.

@MrsTiz: Well, those condos really are gorgeous! But damn, you could buy the whole dang trailer park?! lol

Nothing for a million! But for $825,000 I could get an 8 bedroom, 5.5 bathroom 6433 sq ft single family home.

@RLCeigh: Oh hello there! You know, I'm not sure I'd want one of these big old Dot houses, even if I could afford the mortgage. The upkeep has to be astronomical! Esp if you have wooden shingles that you have to paint every couple of years.

@travellingbee: I'm about 2.5 hrs south of Stockholm. Östergötland county.

In my hood you can get a renovated, 3 br 1.5 bath house on a 25 ft wide lot. Or you can spend about 2 million for a new build, 4 br 3.5 bath house on a wider lot.

This place is about five minutes from my house. 4100 sq, 4 bed, 3.5 bath model home. Listed for $1,040,000. I live two hours down the road from @oliviabolivia: Crazy the difference in prices (but I'd rather live in her city than mine!):

@Anagram: I'm in southern NJ, so I feel your pain. For 1million down here, you can get a 4+ bed, 4+ bath over 4000sf though. The prices up there are crazy! I assume because of NYC accessibility?
clementine / 849 posts
There aren't any houses that expensive in my zip code!!
This one is about 3 miles from my house though, and is 4,800 sq ft, 5 bd, 5 bath - fully renovated 1924 tudor: http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1204-W-59th-St-Kansas-City-MO-64113/2353099_zpid/
