So, what does it cost to buy a 2,200 square foot home with 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and a 2-car garage? It depends on where you live.
In a study of 317 U.S. markets, Coldwell Banker concluded that the average price for such a home is $422,343.
Beverly Hills, CA ($2,206,883) sits on one end of the spectrum and Killeen, TX ($136,725) on the other.
The #1 and #317 markets are consistent with the respective neighboring towns. California and other coastal markets accounted for 35 of the 40 most expensive cities, while Texas is host to eight of the 40 most affordable ones.
New York City was omitted from the list because it lacks the number of homes required to make a fair comparison.
