🏡 What does $1 MILLION actually buy you in the Tri-Valley?

I ran the numbers for Dublin, Pleasanton, San Ramon, and Livermore — and the answer might surprise you:

💰 In Dublin, Pleasanton & San Ramon → $1M buys a condo or townhome
🏠 In Livermore → $1M buys a real HOUSE with a yard
📊 Plus the true monthly payment math at today's rates (the Livermore house can cost LESS per month than a Dublin condo!)
