know why there so cheap? Is it because of jobs hard to get or what?

depends on what area you are talking about, for the most part - the cities are quite expensive , especially the coastal cities. But some of the back woods areas are very cheap for the reason you said- there is NO work, also a grocery store is a half hour to hour drive along with a department store, or hardware store.
you will earn half of what you earn in AZ, and you might drive a hour just to make that.

Maine is a great place to live!! I have lived here all my life. Homes are "Cheap" for a few reasons. The average age of a home in Maine is 45... The pay for a comparable job in Maine is considerably less than Arizona. Maine is the second Highest taxed state in the nation... But It is a small price to pay for living in such a great state. Houses are comparatively cheaper but as in all markets you can buy a home here from $75,000 to $7,500,000. My Dream home is currently on sale for $1,3000,000. The home I live in is currently on the market for $109,000.

Arizona has cheap housing too. It all depends on where you live within either state. You need to compare city with city, rural with rural.
