I have lived in many places in the US and what I have found is prices are tied to salary's.In Texas the house I bought was was $75,000,our Realtor in Colorado said it was a $225,000. house there and in Oregon it would have been closer to $400,000. With that said the salary went up from Texas,to Colorado to Oregon.Is this true in Canada,Australia ect.. Are the salary's higher there fore fabric,gas ect.. is higher?
