Peter,

The average price for an "apartment" in New York City is now over $1,000,000. The median cost of that same apartment is about $740,000.

It sounds like Perth may be a great place for a New Yorker to retire. :P

Those of us paying mortgages in the blue pacific would dispute that. Median HOUSE price here is around $600,000

I'll trade you, even up! Houses, not mortgages that is.

Jackson Hole, WY has had the highest median housing in the US for some time. Last I read it was around $700,000.

When we were living in CT some 15 years ago there was a blurb in our paper that a group in Greenwich was holding a meeting to try to figure out why there was no middle class residing there. It seems at that time the median price of a house was $450,000.00! I have no idea what if anything they came up with. We did NOT live in Greenwich.

In Bronxville, NY the median value is $855,065 and in Scarsdale, NY it is $1,037,998.

In 2000 the median household income was ~$200,000 per year. This is almost as high as the "pineapple palace"....
