Interestingly, despite the fact that Mississippi and West Virginia are the cheapest states, even they have had price increases over and above inflation. Louisiana is the only state where the increase in house prices was below inflation.
and finally as point of comparison here are the European countries where the average house price is above €500k EUR ($593k USD).

I really really want to share the map image, but due to its proportions, the top header gets cut off when posting to Facebook. I might also suggest having the top map all in green and so they share the same heading for an apples-to-apples comparison. This would also make it easier for sharing.
