Here is a list that shows one of the most expensive homes in each state. I also ran the monthly payment for fun in case the people that buy these homes use a typical mortgage like the rest of us.

Today's slice covers HI, ID, IL, IN, and IA. Rates are at 6.65% on a 30 year, and I ran each payment at 20% down.
