My parents bought their 4 bed 3.5 bath house 32 years ago for $145,000 (originally $200,000). This summer a similar house a block away (similar age, 4 bed 3.5 bath, slightly smaller lot) went up for $800,000. It's since been reduced to $650,000 and they put some more work into it, but it's still on the market. I know interest and investment and overall cost of living raise prices, but that just seems like highway robbery to me.

#stupid rant is stupid #one day i'll own a house #maybe next year #still trying to get my health figured out first #one major stressor at a time lmfao #i do go have my food allergy testing today so maybe i'll learn something #i'll keep my hopes low lol #might have to call my surgeons nurse again #i needed one more quiet day at home to do nothing #but yeah the neighborhood i'd really like to buy in has older smaller houses #and theyre all going for 300 or 400 k i think #where they went for 100 k #the math aint mathing and im not good at math but i know that much #at least groceries were surprisingly cheaper yesterday #i got broccoli for 1.45 a lb #that hasnt happened in YEARS
