"Expensive" is a relative term. Is $400,000 expensive for a house?

By a factor of ten or so, yes.

In some parts of the country, yes. In other areas, it would be so cheap you
would think something was seriously wrong with it.

I go by the construction cost, as opposed to the sale price. Most
homes priced at $400,000 don't cost $400,000 to build.
