    Do houses even go for that cheap anymore?

    After all the inflation, housing shortages, corporations buying housing, air bnbers, I figured houses across the board have become unattainable across the board.

      You gotta ask where they live. That’s not a city price, or even a suburb price. They live far from things, maybe have a small town nearby that hasn’t been gentrified yet.

      As far as houses where the vast majority of people and, importantly, opportunities are you’re right about the market being fucked.

      I got my house in 2022 for 60k. I closed a week before the market went absolutely bonkers, so I got really lucky with it. Idk how much it would cost nowadays, but probably too much.
