    Do houses even go for that cheap anymore?

    After all the inflation, housing shortages, corporations buying housing, air bnbers, I figured houses across the board have become unattainable across the board.

      You gotta ask where they live. That’s not a city price, or even a suburb price. They live far from things, maybe have a small town nearby that hasn’t been gentrified yet.

      As far as houses where the vast majority of people and, importantly, opportunities are you’re right about the market being fucked.

      I got my house in 2022 for 60k. I closed a week before the market went absolutely bonkers, so I got really lucky with it. Idk how much it would cost nowadays, but probably too much.

        Your house cost about as much as any tesla.

        tesla is an expensive luxury vehicle that nobody needs and that people replaced their perfectly functional cars with. All in the name of appearing cool and echo and paying half a hundred k for it. They have also always been built comparably to a cybertruck.

        It’s not a 3k honda civic
