Pricing varies widely due to factors such as the size and condition of the property, the specific surfaces being cleaned (e.g., house siding vs. concrete driveway with heavy growth), the level of grime or mold present, accessibility of the area, and the local market competition. Some areas might have lower starting rates, like a 'new guy advertising $65 house washes' as seen in one Reddit thread, but this is usually not sustainable.
