Air date: Dec 26, 2009

Six houses from across the country demonstrate what can be purchased for around $400,000. In Fort Wayne, Indiana, a builder and designer combined their skills to create a new home for their family, while outside Detroit, a family found a charming house that was a perfect fit for them. Then, a Taiwanese transplant turns a Brooklyn, New York brownstone into a model of compact comfort, and three unique residences in Fargo, Sacramento and Seattle provide a further look at what you get for $400,000.
