Living in British Columbia, I had always assumed Bay Area real estate would be astronomical. I found it surprising to see single family detached homes in the Bay Area for $300,000. That's entirely reasonable considering the potential incomes.

Which part of the bay area? Those homes are probably > 1.5 hr commutes for most jobs.

How long ago did you see that? And where?

The median price for a single-family home in the Bay Area is $841,560 as of Summer 2015.
