659K will get you a nice 800 sf starter home in a nasty neighborhood here in PDX. 
Well, this is a rural area and the development was mainly single and double wide summer-only homes. Ours was one of the first full frame, drywall interior, houses in the neighborhood. We have a mere 1300 square feet, and another 1300 st ft of unfinished walk-out basement.
The McGulag nextdoor (same size 75x200 foot lot) has a main floor with 3 bedrooms a 3.5 baths, an attic "loft" with another bedroom and bath and a walk-out basement with 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, kitchen and family room. Everybody said I was nuts to pay $32,500 for a little lot in an almost-trailer park and put up a $125,000 structure (4 years ago).
