Housing costs update

I found this article on MSN this morning... "Where the Affordable Houses Are"... here's the summary for the Northwest:

NORTHWEST:
Prices in the Northwest have been driven upward by proximity to California, so great deals are scarce. The median price in Portland, Ore., rose 20% and edged ahead of its sister city in Maine this past year, $254,000 vs. $249,000. And the Seattle area (home of all those Microsoft millionaires) has a $325,000 median.

The best deal our there? College Station, TX.
