Growing price gap between quality and quantity. . .

Any comments on my observation that there is a huge and growing price gap between the top buildings downtown, which are holding their prices, and those "less than desireable" places that can't give condos away. . .I speak of course of buildings like the Grande which a two bedroom is still a minimum of 800K, and Aquavista where a 17th floor penthouse 2 / 2.5 bath is on the market for 630K or so. . .even I am getting interested in some of these distress units. I could do a hell of a lot of upgrades for 200K. . .the question - will this huge gap start slowing sales at places like the Grande? Will that eventually pull all prices down?

There was a discussion at another blog site about school districts, and one person pointed out that if you had to pay 400K more for a house in a decent school district, you could put a kid through any first class private school for much less. . .just buy the cheap house and send the kid to "country day prep.". . .kind of the same idea - save money on the house, and put it elsewhere.
