High Prices

We enjoy watching shows that have to do with home repair and also the ones that deal with people finding new homes. I just can't believe the high price of some of the houses that are shown on TV. Where do people get the money to buy an average looking home for a few hundred thousand dollars? Even in our home town the prices of housing has taken quite a hike. Many of these homes are not selling well though. It makes me appreciate my own home.
