Million-Dollar Home Buys in USA

Upscale Residences: In the sad but true category, a million dollars does not go as far as it once did. While million-dollar-plus properties are common sites in some states, such as California, New York, and Florida, we thought it might be interesting to go off track and determine how much property $1 million or more could be bought around the country. These are not lands only approachable via all-wheel-drive vehicles only. These are private residences that are listed a $1 million or more around the country.

While it is true that every state has something great about it, there are substantial differences as to how much house, land, and special creature comforts are offered from one area to another. The listed price on the single-family residences ranges from $1.7 million to $4.5, with as few as one-half acre up to 11 acres of land. The property on the one-half acre of land is second highest in list price.
