With a housing budget of $420,000, two couples must decide between very different homes in different parts of the country. Royal and Jovan, who have a large dog to consider, want to live in Seattle, WA, where the median home price is $714,600. Will they choose the 4 bedroom, 1 bathroom, 1740 sq. ft. house, which is Royal's preference, or the 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 604 sq. ft. houseboat that Jovan likes? Cynthia and Greg in Bentonville, AR, where the median housing cost is $231,300, first look at a 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom, 3568 sq. ft. house on 5.85 acres that comes with an outdoor swimming pool and an indoor, air-conditioned basketball court. Then they look at a 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom, 3200 sq. ft. house on 0.33 acre. Which will be their choice?
