Yep....128 went totally out of control post-recession....like 2013-2018 the prices all went nuclear. They still are going nuclear, but they went from semi-affordable back in like 2013 or 2014 to completely unaffordable for middle class in that span.
495 belt is doing that right now. We got really lucky on our timing here....when you look at home values around here, they of course rose coming out of the bottom in 2012ish and rose steadily until like 2015, but then plateaued for about 18 months until around the time we bought our house in January 2017. Then in that spring of 2017, things went absolutely bonkers and they haven't stopped. They accelerated during the pandemic. So our place which we bought for 345k, you probably couldn't get for 450 right now.
It's not like we have a big house (as people have seen in my pics), it's a 3 bedroom ranch with a walkout basement....granted, a nice little piece of land just under an acre, but still. This house shouldn't sell for 450-500k.
