Where I live, it costs $350,OOO for a reasonable house.This is an expensive area because retirees flock to southern Vancouver Island for the temperate climate. In the city the price would almost double. But hey, you can grow palm trees in Victoria!

I was at the Butchart Gardens in 1950. Yes, I am THAT old! For my 80th birthday, I intend to get back there, as well as to the Empress for High Tea. Not an inexpensive birthday celebration, but certainly well worth it! I do pricey things in 5-yr intervals. ;)

My Uncle was an immigration/customs inspector in Seattle/Port Angeles for many years. The last time I saw both of them was in 1950. He had some very interesting tales to tell! ...... not so much immigration, more the customs angle.

At any rate, I am looking forward to this trip. Definitely!

As far as home prices are concerned ...... the average price in Austin, TX these days is $280,000. The newly built houses across the street from me are running $700,000 to 1 million. Where do these buyers come from? ...... California techies or New York techies.
 
And that is about the only places in the US where those folks would come from. Most of the rest of the US is still in the $250,000 or less areas. Much more likely to be in the $150 area.
