$100s > $100,000 (One Hundred Thousand Dollars)

It means that homes are in the thousands of dollars, i.e. $100s - $150s > $100,000 - $150,000 can purchase a home between 1,200 and 2,800 Square Feet (Sq. Ft.).

Perhaps I was not explicit enough and expressed the idea badly. In other words, "$100,000 to $150,000+ (plus) (up to say $160,000) can purchase a home ranging between 1,200 and 2,800 sq. feet.

Thank you Yasutomo.
agree Tony M : Yes, exactly as in Asker's previous question! The 's' isn't "short for" anything — it is just a plural, making it 'hundreds'' — but informed readers will understand the implicit '...thousands of dollars'.

Thank you Ashutosh.
neutral Peter Simon : Good answer and link, but expl. "in the thousands of dollars" is wrong. Correctly it's 'in the one-hundred-thousand-dollar range' as the headline answer suggests.

Fine! Thanks. I tried to specifically address briefly "$100s - $150s" range (i.e. between $100,000 and say $150,000) plus. I did not want to get into a long, complicated discussion to try to make my point.

Franklin's

you could call it a Franklin per square foot.

Or you could say "a hundred bucks," i.e. a hundred bucks a square foot.

disagree Katalin Horváth McClure : It has nothing to do with price per square foot. If you look at the reference, you will see.
