So the board is slow and I'm able to play online at work today 
. Anyone wanna play high-low real estate?
Go to a real estate website, copy and paste either the picture or the link of the most expensive house in your zip code and the cheapest house.
For example, here's mine from entering my zip into frontdoor.com and sorting by the highest price, then sorting by lowest.
Most expensive in my zip: $995,000

least expensive: $64,000

It is a foreclosure in a not so great neighborhood. There aren't any other pictures so I am not sure what the inside looks like.
