how many homes can you buy in your area with 1 million dollars?

Somewhere between one and ten. Recently someone I know sold a house in town and I had heard the asking price was somewhere between $500,000 and $700,000. It was really nice, 2 stories with a basement, large lot with a tennis court in the back yard. I would expect reasonably large but not quiet as nice to go for $300,000-$350,000, while a few years ago I was aware of an older, smaller, not so nice house in town listed for around $80,000.
