....in the high $20-million range

[amigo]

He bought a house in a high $20-million range

Does "high" here mean high price or value and expensive?
Or it is used to imply the price of the house is close to 30 million dollars?

thank you

The high 20 million range, or "the high twenties (20s)" means more than twenty five and less than thirty (million).

In British English, I'd assume it to be a bit hgher than twenty-six. Here, it would be closer to thirty; say, twenty-seven and up.

How do u say it if you mean the price close to 30 millions in British English?

[Tdol]

I'd use 'high'. I wouldn't use 'high' for something just over 25- that would be mid-twenty million range for me.

Thank you so much for the explanations.
