    I also want to know what those $25k houses are selling for now. Comparing to houses built in 2024 is stupid.

      My house was 75k in 1990, I bought it in 2000 for 130k, the unimproved land value for the block it sits on (approximately the lowest value you could sell for according to local land titles) is now 400k

      In 1988 my family home in the UK was 33k. We sold in 2011 for 185k. My house in 2014 cost 118k and is now worth 195k.

      So, it’s not that stupid.

        So the 1988 home sold for about 6 times its purchase price and and the 2014 house is 1.65 times its purchase price. Both of those are way less than the 25x that the image claims.

          But the graphic is stating from 1971 so 18 years before the 1988 house. In 1971 the average house price in the uk was about 5k.

          You are the one conflating here.

            Then provide the 1971 to 2024 numbers. A house built after 1977 can appreciate much less than a house built in 1971.
