I think so, yeah.

Average price here is something around $340,000 - but that's for a typical anywhere-in-North-America house in the suburbs. They go up to about $800,000 for the really nice rowhouses with bay windows, and as low as $400,000 for those depending on square footage and neighbourhood.

But mine - a little, flat-front rowhouse in a run-down neighbourhood... it was only $150,000.

One little oddity: until about 1970s, we were violently segregated between Catholics (majority spanning all social classes) and Protestant (upper class). You can get a VERY nice house in a traditionally Catholic area, even if it's completely Protestant today, for a little cheaper than in the former Protestant neighbourhoods, which still have residual prestige.

A couple of samples from right now on the local real estate agent site:
