luxury homes: A Million Dollars Buys More House Now - 10/03/09 07:17 PM
A million dollars doesn't buy what it used to.  In most markets it now buys much more. 
Buyers who have the capacity to buy into the luxury market are getting much more for their money these days. Foreclosures are up and home prices are down.  And, this has put pressure on builders and resellers of high priced homes.
