<p>Talk to any real estate professional and you'll soon realize the importance of location for home values.</p>



<p>Home prices can literally double by <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ah4Bed_N5yw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">moving a few miles closer</a> to a major city or big employer.</p>



<p>But how do home prices differ when comparing coasts? The answer might surprise you.</p>



<p>The Mortgage Reports teamed up with real estate agent and YouTube influencer <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/TheMattLeighton" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Matt Leighton</a> to compare what $500,000 gets you in Washington, D.C. compared to Seattle.</p>



<p>Let's take a look.</p>

<p>Talk to any real estate professional and you’ll soon realize the importance of location for home values.</p>

<p>Let’s take a look.</p>
