I would guess that it's NY commercial space.  High-end Madison Avenue retail space leases for over $1000/ft.

I live in America, and have been to the other places that you mention.\n\nThe US is the best place to live in terms of cost of living and quality of life with great amenities. France is ridiculously expensive, and I can think of few people living in a place like Manhattan or Los Angeles moving to Ireland. \n\nImran

I'd suggest Houston.  I'm in the medical field as well, and have moved away a few times, but keep coming back because Houston has by far the best career opportunites of places I've been.  Cost of living is much lower than other large cities.  You can buy a 3 BR house for under 150K.  Houston has the largest consolidated medical center in the US, and there are over 80 hospitals in the city, including several large teaching institutions.  Winters are very mild, though the summers are pretty hot.  You're less than an hour from the beach, and there are some fantastic restaurants here.

New York would most likely be considered a "high value target" because of the financial aspect. Most records and fincancial institutes are there. Wipe out wall street and wooooooo..\nAnd too think of how many people could be affected because they are concentrated.\nSecond would likely be Los Angeles for its population and then maybe Chicago.\n\nKind of morbid to think of it but that is a fact the US must consider.....

Yes I heard San Fran is insane. I am from Long Island, and the average house price is about the same as that. I think that upstate NY is beautiful and reasonable...Saratoga Springs is to die for and the average 4 bedroom 2.5 bath is around 200k....the town is booming! If you are looking to move to the east coast...its definately somthing to consider.

The United States as a whole.\n\nIf you're looking for large markets within the US, pick any large city.  Use of E-Bay pretty much spans all geographic regions and foils any traditional labelling of which market is which.

If you like the heat you can go and find a nice house in Phoenix, AZ or Las Vegas, NV. \n\nPortland, OR has good pricing too. Seattle, WA is very reasonable too.

Florida is also booming. Waterfront property can easily go up 200%+ in a couple years. We're also growing like crazy, think it's about 900-1000 people per month move here, causing even normal property value to increase dramatically.\n\nFission

Realtors can make any where from $1,000.00 per year to over a million. It depends on how ambitious they are. It also depends on what state you live in too.\n\nIt has got to be one of the most up and down occupations one could have. The brokers are the ones that make the most money.

Yes! California is really expensive! But it is really beautiful and everyone should get to visit at least once! \n Now, living there is another story. If you get a really great job than you might be able to live there comfortably. But it all depends on where in CA you want to live. I would aviod LA. There are so many gangs and lots of drugs! \n If you plan to move there I wish you luck and hope for the best!

Places like Moorestown, Cherry Hill, Mt Laurel are nice put are getting very expensive.  Also the property taxes are getting ridiculously high.  I would suggest going a little further south like something in Glassboro.  They are building new houses down there too. Maybe you can get some pre-construction deals if your not in a hurry.\n\nGood Luck!

It depends on the market.  Commercial property in LA will cost more than in rural Iowa.  Get a realtor involved and they should be able to walk you through the process of finding out all the details.   Each area will have it's own average.  You can't average all of the US's commercial properties because there is such a disparity in pricing so the average isn't representative of any specific city.\n\nMake sure to get a buyer's realtor.  They work for you, not the seller and have your interests in mind.

What's in a ZIP? In this case, some of the priciest real estate in the country.\n\nFrom Beverly Hills to TriBeCa, from notorious enclaves of mansions and lush lawns to little-known niches of wealth, we looked at ZIP codes around the country to find the ones where home prices were the highest last year.\n\nMany of these neighborhoods are rarified places, of course. They are close to beaches and golf courses and prime yacht moorings--or at least within spitting distance of the power centers that are the sources of great wealth. Thanks to their high tax bases, these areas also usually offer better schools, health care and public services--not to mention such amenities as better exotic car mechanics, caterers and gardeners. The homes are often proof of the good life, if not always good design. Penthouses and mansions abound, filled with the most expensive fittings, such as antique marble mantles, gunite pools and hand-painted hallways.\n\nBut there were some surprises. The list is testament to the costs of living in California, with half of our top ten ZIPs in that state, and nearly two-thirds of our top 25. It's not such a shock when you consider that California home prices increased nearly 100 percent between 1999 and 2000, according to the U.S. Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight. But the real estate market in some locations has made a u-turn since the dot-com bust--several of the most expensive places are in or very close to San Francisco and Silicon Valley. Meanwhile, the best known ZIP code in California, 90210, also known as Beverly Hills, ranked only No. 15.\n\nThen there were the places that indirectly fed off of West Coast money. Two of our top 25 ZIPs were in tax-free Nevada, but not in Las Vegas, where home prices shot up more than 40% between 2003 and 2004, according to OFHEO research. Instead, they were old-money resort bastions around Lake Tahoe.\n\nAnd while more diverse than postal areas such as the Upper East Side of Manhattan or Lake Shore Drive in Chicago, have more than their fair share of high-priced properties, urban areas usually ended up lower on our list. That's because those ZIP codes are more diverse than those that encompass exclusive and relatively homogenous suburbs where home prices don't dip below $1 million.\n\nFor example, a townhouse might easily sell for $15 million in Manhattan, a far higher price per square foot than a Montecito mansion, but a sliver of a studio on the next block may ring up at $300,000, bringing down the median home price. An exception is TriBeCa, a trendy neighborhood in downtown Manhattan, where commercial spaces have been turned into large, luxurious lofts for the hip and well-heeled. Here, in 10013, last year's median home price was more than $1.6 million.\n\nIn case you ever wondered, ZIP stands for Zoning Improvement Plan. A relatively recent innovation, the codes only came about in the 1960s when the U.S. Postal Service decided it needed to figure out a better way to manage an increase in population, as well as an influx of business mail.\n\nBefore that, the postal service only used addresses, although large cities have had postal zones since 1943. Now, there are more than 40,000 ZIP codes. The first of the five numbers refers to a broad region, from zero for the Northeast (draw what conclusions you will) to nine for the West Coast. The second and third digits narrow to population centers, and the last two represent individual post offices or postal zones.\n\nA ZIP code can include a very wealthy neighborhood along with a less-pricey one, which means there are some limits to our list. This may be why areas such as Jupiter Island, Fla., and New York's Hamptons didn't make the cut.\n\nAlso, though median home price is a solid gauge of a real estate market, it doesn't exactly measure the top prices in an area. The median is where half of all sales were above and half were below. So, an estate could go for $30 million and another

Jersey Shore. Cape May. Atlantic City. New York City.\n\nAll places on the water, and all fairly inexpensive. Yeah, I know that NYC has been rated the #1 most expensive city in the US and the #10 in the world, but that is if you LIVE there, not if you are just a visitor. There's a nifty show on WNYC called "$9.99" which shows you how to have a great time in the city without spending more than ten dollars.
