The mythical Average Home

If it's in the ZIP code to which I'm moving, it's 1509 square feet, was built in 1957, and sells for $92,392, or so says Homestore.com.

My particular neighborhood skews a tad smaller, somewhat older — development began in 1946 and was mostly completed by 1950 — and similarly pricey: five other homes in the district were on sale when I bought, and their average asking price was $97,740.

New construction, out towards the edges of town, will of course cost Much, Much More.
