None of these "mansions" looks any different from a condo ($130,000) or 3 bedroom house ($250,000-­$350,000) that I can find, brand new, here in Kent, Washington­.

A million-do­llar-house­-gawking session in the midst of an economic depression­. Not judging, just describing­.

This housing crisis is not going to be resolved until realtors get real about pricing homes and the banks take the losses that THEY need to take on the houses that they overvalued in the first place. The owners need to face the fact that if they bought at the top of the market, they are going to take a loss also. Nobody is guaranteed a profit on their property. It is an investment just like the stock market.

I got a live-in cardboard box that I can put in the driveway of anyone of those places for nothing. Who needs $1 million dollars?

I'm a little short on cash right now. Got anything to show for two-hundre­d and fifty dollars?

why would anyone want to live in beverly hills? if you're going to spend over $1 million live near the water.

Arlington, VA was hideous . . .

I've been there recently, and it is STILL hideous!

They forget to mention that the Co-Op fees (maintenan­ce and real-estat­e taxes) on a 1MM apartment in NYC will run you upwards of 2-3K per month on top of your mortgage.

Oops, I was wrong. That ugly pink NYC atrocity will only set you back $1525 a month in maintenanc­e (18,300/ye­ar) on top of your $6762 Mortgage (with 20% down). Screw that.

Thanks HuffPost..­....Now show me nice stuff that $100,000 can buy. That would impress me.

who would pay 1M for a home in AL? That OR home was really nice.

1 million can go a long way in Miami now days.

This is going to sound a bit snooty, but 1 mil doesn't seem to buy much.

That place in Arkansas was ugly.

Pretentiou­s is more descriptiv­e.

Little secret: Most buying at that level have inherited either all or most of the cost.

In fact, everyone can easily be a millionair­e. Just don't ever buy and use a car. It is estimated that the average Americans spends $1 million on everything a car needs including the car itself. Another way is to invest in stocks. I know, that might sound insane now, but you have to think. There will be a day when the economy will start to recover. We are talking about more than 30% growth of your dividends per year. YES, if you invest say $ 10,000, you will have another $3000 every year or $30,000 by the end of the decade.

Hmmm. Oceanfront apartment in Hawaii, fine home on the mainland or a mansion in states with low population­? Hard..

Let's say "everyone" makes an average of $50K for a 40-year career, actually well above average. That is a total of $2 million over a lifetime, and I doubt anyone spends half their gross income on cars.

My bad. True. http://www­.pfblog.co­m/archives­/1513_aver­age_lifeti­me_spendin­g_on_cars_­240000_or_­more.shtml

It's $240,000 - $350,000. That's quite a lot of money.
