Oof. Am I crazy or is this way beyond house inflation? - eviltoast

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.

    That’s a really good question! Is there a way to look that up?

    I was looking at houses in my neighborhood on Zillow and the house was gorgeous, but I rolled my eyes when I saw the old rates.

      Depends on the effort your willing to go to… if you walk down to town hall with at least $10 in your wallet, your likely to walk away with record duplicates to answer the question definitively…

      On Zillow it usually says when the house was built. Are the other replies in jest? In 2024, to go somewhere physically, to look this up?

      Go to the register of deeds and look for some kind of mortgage around 1986 for an amount other than the lot.
