What is going on with the housing market ? (Page 2/2) 82-T/A [At Work] OCT 15, 04:20 PM quote Originally posted by Patrick: Those were home prices here... 15+ years ago. A "knock-down" home on a regular (33"x120") city lot on the east (working-class) side of Vancouver easily goes for $1.2M now. Tampa was always a more affordable city in Florida... like, half the price of what you'd expect to spend in Miami / Fort Lauderdale suburbs. So these are incredible prices... MidEngineManiac OCT 15, 05:42 PM Dont even need 15+ years...6 years ago you could find 2-3 bedroom mobiles (dated, need flooring, cabinets and paint, maybe a roof) for under 25k all day long. Go pretty much wherever you wanted and find housing for less than a new car. Those same things are now $100k and up. I'm kind of kicking myself I didn't buy a few 15 years ago. Whoda thunk that cheap retirement housing would go like that.
