The article mentions starter homes starting at $270,000 in Bloomington, Indiana. But there are many older homes selling for far less, and even a few newer ones (such as this https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1621-N-Breckenridge-Rd-Bloomington-IN-47404/456976665_zpid/ ) So I am not sure what the market for these houses is.
