Now we have a 4 bedroom 2 bath house with 1/2 acre for sale for $230,000 that we are trying to sell ourselves, thanks to a military move. But with the economy the way it is we are having a hard time getting any nibbles on it (there are 100+ 4 bedroom houses for sale within 10 miles of ours.)

Having owned in Chicago, I can say that you can get far more than a 1BR, 1BA in that town for that price. In the logan square neighborhood, you should be able to swing something like a 2BR 1BA with about 1100 sq. ft., near west side (around greek town) you're looking at a decent loft place. Go farther west and in 2003 I bought a 3br 2ba place for $170K, which I sold for $207.5K in 2006. It was nice for me, but less ideal for a family due to the neighborhood. I had friends who were afraid to be outside alone around my place, but I never had any problem walking the streets at any time of day.

That's in Washington Heights, North of the Cross-Bronx Expy. Here's a studio in the Upper West side for just $399,000.

Though I guess you didn't check out any more rural markets, and these are all listed by Realtors(tm) which tends to eliminate the bottom of the market. Two factchecks which probably cancel out relative to your point: (1) 3 beds isn't exactly a McMansion and (2) to amplify another commentator's point, note that the "upper west side" condo isn't remotely in the upper west side, but rather 186th St, north of even the Cross Bronx Expressway at the very north reaches of the A line, eg, Washington Heights, barely in Manhattan at all.

Sure you dont pay income prop. in Nev and Tex but what do you get for that? CA and NY you pay prop tax (in CA about 1.25% of prop value per year) but you get alot for it: top notch higher ed, etc. Price is not what matters its all about monthly payment.
