There are many different micro-markets in my market area.

For one it can be any condo/townhome priced at/under $500K

In another area a home priced at/under $1,500,000 is entry level.

The definition of affordable needs to be clearly explained especially for relocating clients.

In my area the average for a single family is over $500K but if you need more than 3 bedrooms its closer to $800K is that affordable? Not to most I would say.

It's crazy here.  Depends on the location we have homes near TCU going for $240 - $300,000+... This area is booming!  

Average pre owned homes are $140-$250  Under $140 is usually a manufactured home, small house or a property that needs a little TLC. 

New home sales have risen $190 - $220

I would say 200-300k is a nice neighborhood home here, you can get into the 130-180k but you would be on the bad side of town.
