Completely and totally agree. The price of a new construction house in Redmond WA is around $1,400,000 USD and involves lots of paperwork and rules to be able to qualify to buy.

The price of a similarly specified house in Iowa or West Virginia in a very affluent zip code is less than $600,000, some closer to $400,000. It is conceivable that a married couple with 10 years of savings could buy this house cash and continue working remote as they please!
