iirc Frodo sold Bag End to the Sackville-Bagginses for a not great price and (fake) moves to a sketchier neighborhood where you had to lock your doors lol.
So Frodo being priced out of his childhood home isn’t far off.
To be fair that was because he wasn’t sure he was coming back from his journey, not because he couldn’t have gotten a good deal if he haggled. He also got it back for free after Saruman was killed, so pretty good deal in the end anyways.
