Now if we assume that the home was worth about 95k in 1995 or 1996, which was the bottom before… and it sold in 2005 for 389k.
Thats a whopping 409% appreciation in 9 years. That is just insane.
No, it wouldn’t surprise me at all if that home fell back to $160k. I think its a less insane possibility. Don’t forget that markets tend to over correct too.
