[quote=an][quote=svelte]That is an absurd claim. I was going to spend time this weekend researching it and show you, but I just figured out I already have two data points that demonstrate how outlandish it is.

I’ve stated previously that my father purchased a 3/2 1500 SF house in the central valley for $21K in 1970.

When I arrived in San Diego in 1987, a single family 3/2 1500 SF house – brand new – was selling for $100K-105K in Mira Mesa. I distinctly remember taking my dad over to show him those ridiculous prices.

San Diego, including Mira Mesa, has always been more expensive that the central valley.

If my dad’s 1970 house had went up 10x in the 1970s, it should have been worth $210K in 1980. It most definitely was not, and the fact that anyone could walk into a new development in Mira Mesa in 1987 and buy a brand new 3/2 1500 SF for $100K demonstrates that even at 17 years, prices hadn’t even went up 5x yet.

Totally bogus claim.[/quote]you’re right. I stand corrected. 10806 Eberly CT, 92126 only went up 4x over 75-87. No where near my 10x assertion.[/quote]
But still up not down or crash. I’ll take 4x increase in housing price any day. I’ll be happy with 2x from here.
