Ted, That's because you live in S. CA. and you think the whole country is in a bubble. It is not. I tried to tell MacMannis that and guess what.......he disappeared.

Jim is a much bigger expert on the subject than you or I. I already realize that Orange County might be more expensive than most other areas, but not that much different from other popular metropolitan areas. CNN brought up Chevy Chase, MD, which I'm certain is also a very prime real estate location because of its proximity to D.C. It's even "inside the Beltway," which these days isn't exactly accessible to the average homebuyer.

Homes have become much larger in the past 30 years.

Sure doesn't feel like it for me. My home right now is much smaller than the "average" 2,400 ft2 home, and it was built in 1997. Not only that, but most of the newly built homes I see around here are below 2,400 ft2. If there are new mansions that are being built near here, I'd sure like to see them, if only to laugh at what the asking price is.

Why does Aaron Spelling or Bill Gate have to have a 30-50,000 sq. ft house? Its ridiculous.

Modern-day palaces. Maybe those are the homes that are bumping up the average. Just a thought.
