$14K in 1960 was $167,000 by 2010.

Average salary of a worker in 1960 was $3,700.

I paid $320K for my house in 2002 , which peaked in value to $1.6M by 2022. That was insane, it's now worth $1.2 or less and headed downward.

It should be worth $600K. People took out HELOCs on houses now descending in value.

It should be worth $600K.

Yeah, the location was not one of those places with seriously insane housing appreciation. Small town in Ohio. 14X appreciation is still pretty good.
