Here is how the prices breakdown for this year's first quarter single family home sales: 

Sale Price               /              # of homes sold

> $2,000,000                    =  2

$1,000,000-$2,000,000     =   2

$900,000-$1,000,000        =   0

$800,000-$900,000           =   3

$700,000-$800,000           =   4

$600,000-$700,000           =  10

$500,000-$600,000           =  15

$400,000-$500,000           =  53

$300,000-$400,000           =  74

$200,000-$300,000           =  45

$100,000-$200,000           =  18

< $100,000                       =   1

 

As you can see, the majority of homes are selling in the $200,000 - $500,000 range, with the sweet spot being the $300,000-$400,000 range.
