Answer:

$70,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Average price for a 2,000-square-foot house in the city = $300,000

Average price for a 2,000-square-foot house in the suburbs = $230,000

Therefore, if a person wants to shift from suburbs to city then the average home prices for a 2,000 square foot house changes by:

= $300,000 - $230,000

= $70,000
