Although a Los Angeles home made the No. 2 spot, five of the Top 10 most-searched homes nationwide at Realtor.com last week -- among homes priced within 20% of the median list price of $215,000 -- were in Detroit.

Here’s the Top 10 in the order they ranked:

1. Canton Twp, MI 48188 is a four-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom, brick Cape Cod with 2,005 square feet listed at $219,900.

2. Los Angeles, CA 90062 is a three-bedroom, two-bathroom, 1,464-square-foot 1922 house in Boyle Heights listed at $248,000.

3. Las Vegas, NV 89141 is a four-bedroom, four-bathroom, 2,152-square-foot 2003 two-story listed at $185,000.

4. Detroit, MI 48214 is a six-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom, 5,500-square-foot Colonial built in 1900 listed at $220,000.

5. Detroit, MI 48206 is a six-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom 1919 Georgian-style home of 4,200 square feet listed at $225,000.

Rounding out the Top 10 were:
6. Detroit, MI 48206, $249,995
7. Miramar, FL 33027, $199,900
8. Holly Springs, NC 27540, $183,000
9. Detroit, MI 48214, $184,900
10. Detroit, MI 48206, $189,900.

It does provide an interesting comparison of what you can buy in different locations for the same amount of money. As for our No. 2 Los Angeles house, it previously sold for $520,000 in February 2007.
