Flyer, that was probably me. My childhood home was purchased in the early 90s by my parents for around 120k, sold in the mid 2000s for 125k, and the zestimate is now 131k. Solid brick 4/2.5 on flat grassy low traffic 9000sf lot in a good school district in a suburb that looks a lot like Midway/Point Loma without the palm trees. (But with factories and cornfields surrounding it. The old shuttered giant car factory might become a casino, but lots of small high tech factories with 15-100 employees doing things like custom machine tools, defense, and lasers).
The house my mother grew up is worth about $80,000, same nominal price as in the mid-80s.
I still like red brick postwar suburban homes but they are rare here. Wonder how much they cost over stucco and wood frame, or if earthquakes are the issue. So many Midwest transplants I bet they’d sell here.
