Offtopic, but I had to chuckle a little: Bay Area house prices have gotten my mind so clouded that I instantly thought you were missing an extra zero on each of those dollar values. I had to re-read it twice until it dawned on me that there are other places out there...

Same thing happened with me. Coastal housing prices skew your perception of reality so much, it's hard to imagine <$100K even existing.

Atlanta isn't the cheapest area, but yes it's much better than the coasts. You don't even have to leave Georgia to find expensive housing; if my property were in Savannah it would be three times as expensive.
