Challenge accepted. I ran a Zillow search with your criteria and prices range from $260k for a fixer upper to $390k for a recent renovation. I'm in a major city, but it's one of the most affordable in the US. You must be in the suburbs to be seeing those prices. Also bear in mind that the "Zestimate" has no bearing on reality - you need to look at homes that are actually up for sale.
Fair, I didn’t feel like writing out a long disclaimer about your local market. The point is that what you call a middle class home and what your grandparents probably called a middle class home are very different buildings.
