Calling California home can cost you. Coldwell Banker’s Home Listing Report for 2014 ranked 1,971 real estate markets across 50 states and the Golden State tops the list with a high number of pricey places to buy a house.

The real estate firm looked at 51,000 listings to come up with the average price for a four-bedroom, two-bathroom home. The result? Nine of the top 10 most expensive places to own a home in the United States are in California with Los Altos, of Silicon Valley fame, taking the top spot with an average price of $1,963,099.90. It’s followed by Newport Beach in Orange County and Saratoga in Santa Clara County.

However, a number of California markets also ranked quite low on the list. Adelanto, a town in San Bernardino County, came last in the state with an overall ranking of 1,839 and an average home price of $149,727.71.

The least expensive places on the list of nearly 2,000 were far more varied by state, though a number of the markets were located in the Rust Belt. Cleveland, Ohio was the least expensive with an average price of $64,993.03. Other cities at the bottom of the list include Riverdale, Georgia and Park Forest, Illinois.
