Real estate (virtual or tangible) is only worth what people are willing to pay.
Hawaii has the most expensive real estate market in the country - sale or rental. Yeah... "everyone" wants to live Hawaii... spend $500,000 - an itty-bitty 2 BR frame home on only 3000sqft land is the norm here.

That is my house.. mortgage is a killer... but I can still afford some semblance of "life". Rentals are worse.. people pay about $1400/mo + utilities for an equivelant of my house.. and those are "country" prices.
People who want those Luna houses... will do whatever it takes to get it if they want it that badly...
If there are buyers, sellers will keep the prices up. If there are no buyers.. well, if the sellers REALLY wanna move it, they will drop their prices.
I _really_ want a Luna house to base events out of (rather than in the sticks of Cove). But I can only afford so much. Judging from my tangible home's mortgage payments, even just affording UO is a miracle!
