The interesting thing about the topic of home values is that it’s always a bit ubiquitous… even when we’re watching TV.  Who hasn’t watched an episode of Friends and declared there’s no way Rachel and Monica could afford that apartment in New York… or wondered how Mike the single plumber on Desperate Housewives lives in such a posh suburban home.

I heard from a colleague this morning who logged on to Zillow.com after watching The Real Housewives of Orange County on Bravo last night.  This is a new documentary series that follows Real_housewives_4 five families inside "one of the wealthiest planned communities in the country," the Coto de Caza area of Orange County, CA.

A Zillow search for "Coto de Caza" in California produced these results – with Zestimates ranging from just over $1 million to more than $4 million… and lots of swimming pools, tennis courts and nearby golf courses.

Here’s to reality TV.
