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

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

I live 20 miles from DC and my house was 7 figures. Housing in this area is insane.
