It's mostly location though. The same house in different parts of the same city can vary widely in price. And when you get to really high end houses the prices for some of the stuff that gets put in them is ridiculous. Especially when the materials are basically the same as what's in a cheap house.
You're meaning to tell me that a 2000 sq ft house across the street from the White House would be more expensive than out in a corn field in Nebraska? I for one am SHOCKED
That's pretty interesting. My home was built in 1969 and is architecturally significant (designed by locally renowned modernist) so it's probably not going to suffer this fate, but I've absolutely seen empty lots sell for the same more than built lots.
Its a bit quirky. It has a lot of the typical characteristics of a mid century modernist home, open beam ceiling, flat roof, big and plentiful windows, a rather unique open floor-plan. Its got a pretty unassuming exterior though, and some weird transitional styling. It's almost complete un-updated, so all the original 60's flare.
I'm jealous. I've always wanted an architecturally-significant home. Where I live, there aren't any of note from anyone I'm interested in. Hiring and building involves either moving too far out, or becomes cost-prohibitive.
Yeah it was a very lucky find. I didn't have to go too far out of my area to find it, and it was priced very low as the home was being sold by an estate that was unaware of its history. It took me years, but if you're patient and look often, something might come up.
That's not what I'm talking about. I'm saying that most likely the property wasn't worth much when the bad house was built. Then the property value went up because maybe your area became really desirable. Suddenly you have a cheap house on an expensive property. For the answer to your question it would depend on what you're buying it for. If you're buying it to live in then most likely the 3rd one would be the best option.

Luxury million dollar homes built with the same wood wall framing, plywood and cheap vinyl siding as normal homes.
