would your home cost more or less now than when you bought it?

more

 

[TippyThomas]

Much more.

I bought my house in 1983 so I would say a lot more.

 

[Maistre Gracey]

Had my home built. Got CO in December 2019.
Value has increased north of 50%.

Same here. Currently about 5 times what I paid for it.

My area has had an explosion in prices. My house would sell for 8-10 times what I paid. Especially after the work I have had done but I have seen houses that need a LOT of work selling for $250-300 thousand. I don't know how my grandkids will ever afford to buy.

 

[Lord Manhammer]

Oh much more. My house is on the state register of historic places and it’s really increased.

Well, while home sales have slowed, they are still selling at those prices, and often to young people, so they figure a way out how to do it.

More of course. Have never seen house prices go down in my city.
And I’ve been a home owner for 30 years.

 

[Lumpy1106]

A lot more. The market is softening, but we could probably still get 2.5 times what we bought it for and put into it. Problem is, we'd have to spend that much on a different place and would pay triple the taxes - se we are not going anywhere...yet.

 

[luvnwdwgal]

Definitely more. My husband bought our house for 10 grand back in 1979, before I knew him. It was definitely a fixer upper.

 

[Luv Bunnies]

Purchased in 2019. Current value about 10% more.

 

[ronandannette]

Well, we've only been here 3 months, but here's to hoping it would be more, since we just put $35,000 into a reno.

 

[China Expat]

MUCH MUCH more here in Los Angeles

 

[Tuffcookie]

Bought in 1979, so more.

 

[SophieQ]

Bought in 2019 — definitely more, even with high interest rates. Bay Area is always crazy.

 

[Kimkimba]

I don’t know how it could be less. Ours is about 3.5 x more. Our market is still good and we plan on selling this year.

 

[sasywtch]

As everyone else in CA, more.

 

[cayennews]

Thankfully more. Glad the value has gone up.

 

[bcwife76]

Much, much more.
