The idea that 40 years and this house cost than 10x more?

I know there’s a lot of other factors. I’m just… Sigh.

    In Spokane Washington, my grandmother purchased a house for my mom that was like $35k in 1984. Similar houses in the area are about $350k right now.

    So yeah that’s some stupid inflation

    I purchased a historical house in Spokane 2019 for almost $500k and it’s suggested sale price is over $800k now. Stupid.

      I think my home in oregon has appreciated $300k in the last 5 years, and realistically I could probably hold out for another $300k over that based on location and improvements. It’s ridiculous, and I say that as a beneficiary of all this insanity.
