Absolutely. I am a Californian, and when I see my family talking about the houses they bought in Texas, and yes maybe that was a decade back, and I compare them to an equivalent house in Cupertino (there are none maybe, and I am not that familiar with Fremont but I think it is the same range, just 10% lower worst case), the price difference has to be a million at least, could be more.

Median home in LA county is 775k, lower than state median even. Concord CA, 35 minute drive from freemont, has a median of like 650k. Note I said median and not average too.
