Not a meme or anything, so I’m not quite sure where else to post this. It’s been floating around since early this year, and I thought it was interesting to see and speculate about why certain states are so high/low right now.
If I could find the source of the data, I would’ve posted it to /c/dataisbeautiful, but without it I’d rather share it somewhere more casual.
Good grief… My house cost 89k when I got it 15 years ago it’s crazy that prices have gone up this much in such a short time!
Often times to you see stuff about how out of touch someone is because they were able to get there house for X but these increases mean increased taxes and if its not freestanding you have to worry about the association dues. I would love to live in city center but even during housing crashes its barely affordable and the moment it recovers I would lose my shelter. My neighbors will talk about valuation going up as a good thing and im like. Hey im not selling im living here so I would just as soon have it stagnate or just go up relative to infaltion.
We paid 70k for our house 5 years ago. It’s now valued around 140k. It’s crazy to think that’s it’s doubled in this short of a time because we live in a rural area.
