With low interest rates and lots of foreclosures on the markets, there are many sellers out there looking for fixer-uppers in the $50,000 range, and finding such homes.
On the other side of the scale, there are families paying up to $50,000 for a playhouse for their children.

The playhouses above are available from La Petit Maison.
For families who really want to go all-out, there are swingsets, tree houses, and play forts that are just as impressive, with costs also being in the thousands. Some homeowners have turned to play structure designers like Barbara Butler to design fanciful playhouses, treehouses and forts.

While these are pretty extravagant, I think they are awesome. One caveat for homebuyers though - they are considered personal property in many places, so make sure you have it included in the contract if you are buying a home with a play structure that your child just has to have.
