But in the last decade the city has improved dramatically, including home values. When we bought our current home nine years ago (similar to your brother's, but a six bedroom double), it was valued by the county at $63,500. Now, disregarding renovation, it's at $133,000. Market value (partially renovated) is about $275,000. Houses in our neighborhood have all sold over market within days - some immediately upon listing - in the past several years.

His video is dated January, 2022 IIRC. The data are clearly way off.

They didn't mention one place that didn't have cold, crime, or poverty Renew Deal Jan 2022 #16

Well under a 100k is a pretty low bar (Under 200k would open up more temperate cities I expect) cinematicdiversions Jan 2022 #17

If it didn't have crime, cold or poverty, it likely wouldn't have $100k homes. shrike3 Jan 2022 #24
