No…
Stop it. Open any real estate site and look for any concentrated listings for homes anywhere in the map, and tell me most 4 bedroom houses are over a million with a straight face.
Real estate is at bubble levels, but it’s absolutely not $1 mil for a 4 bedroom “where most houses are”.

Sure we all make our own assumptions based on our experiences. Here that’s not an expensive house and you’re not going to find many that cheap with four bedrooms. In a lot of places the price is the land and the cost of the house on it is just a small part of what you’d need to pay.
Right, here is keyword. The average citizen doesn’t have the privilege of choosing to live “here”, because while is relatively cheap, it’s still prohibitively expensive.
Just because there are $5 million homes doesn’t make $1 million homes “cheap”.
I live in Tampa. Houses around me are getting pulled down and replaced with 1-1.75M houses at a frightening pace. This has to be a bubble, nobody who works here could afford the rent or mortgage on that. Taxes alone on a 1.5M house would be 24,000 per year!
It is a bubble, and we don’t have to go to extremes.

This house was on the market for $270k, suddenly it’s vacant and going for $575k. Likely the owners couldn’t keep waiting and sold it to a company that put a fresh coat of paint on it and ballooned the price. It’s still not close to $1, and to pretend like you can’t get a decent house in Tampa for less than a million is just apologizing for rich people.

That’s not even in town, New Tampa is technically part of the city but way north, past parts that are unincorporated and farther than Temple Terrace.
We bought our house a few years ago for nearly 300k, and I was so upset because I thought we were at the top of the bubble then. Like, there is no way a house is worth that, it’s insane. But now a smaller house on our road wants $600k (new coat of paint, as you say) a literal empty lot sold for more than our house cost, and they are building horrifying monstrosities like this, it’s so ugly!

I am old enough to remember 2 crashes, one I bought my first house, a shithole but so cheap, and then the bank bailout crash. What goes up comes down, and it always begins with the ‘we will buy your house’ flyers in the mail and people saying real estate always goes up.
In SC? Because if you mean in general, I can link a few counterpoints
You have a few links that cover most places?

Edisto Island is a, relatively, secluded part of SC. It’s the only part where beach front isn’t astronomical. So, it’s actually relatively expensive for the area. Edisto Island is pretty sparse, as far as beach/island areas go. It’s not really comparable to anywhere else in SC. Even Cherry Grove lol
A home in the same area, same beach front style, currently listed at $1.5m
So new construction, was 1/3 the price just a few years back. Its current valuation and what the judge her former rep husband bought it for was likely nowhere near a price that would be “dayam” territory.
That’s not as insane as it used to be.
In Canada, we call that a 4-bedroom home.
Middle class.
Yeah I was gonna say, that’s what a “mansion” costs in the US?
