"As someone who lives in Los Angeles, these prices sound like an absolute
bargain."

Croak! Sounds similar to Alaska.....
I'm not sure about Florida averages, Mary B. lives in a higher expense area than we do, but here in the NW of Florida a $200,000 home is very upper end. We payed $64,000 for ours and that is fairly common. Most homes in the average middle income type neighborhoods are between 80 to 120 thousand.
