I understand what you are saying about cost of living and all but I don't think one can compare tractor to realestate markets which are highly variable based even from neighborhood to neighborhood.
It seems to me that tractors in the northeast tend to be higher priced than other areas of the country. While there isn't a tractor dealership on every corner they are not in short supply. Just a curiosity I guess.
But I do think the local real estate market is a pretty good indicator of the cost of doing business in an area. It indicates the cost to own/rent the physical dealership and the cost to hire capable employees. The dealer and his salesmen and mechanics have to make enough to live locally and their prices will reflect this. These costs, as well as local taxes & fees ultimately get "gifted" to the local tractor buyer.
