I thought it would be fun to show the differences in housing prices in different areas!

Here's what to do! Go to www.realtor.com (http://www.realtor.com/) and type in your zip code. Make the minimum price for your search $1,000,000 and the maximum price $1,250,000. Show us a picture of a house as close to $1,000,000 as you can! (And if you feel like it, show us million-dollar homes in other towns like your hometown, college town, etc.!) And if there aren't any million-dollar homes, tell us that too - is it because prices don't get up that high in your area, or is it because prices START higher than that?

This house is in the town that I currently live in and is listed for $1,200,000.

The only thing for over a million in the next largest town is just naked land, so I had to expand my search a bit - this is in Owings Mills, where all the Baltimore Ravens football players live.

We're doing a job for the Ravens right now in Owings Mills. It's sickening what they'll build for the football players!

Well, my area is a little different. Million dollar houses aren't so great here. There are 185 houses over a million dollars for sale in my town right now. Here's a sample.
