The funny thing is this is a poor example once you dig in and do the math. Not calculating interest or maintenance expenses in this figure. Not counting you’d have to sell it to get your money out and you’ll owe 20% cap gain taxes over the $250k/500k limit. So that’s almost no financial growth over 22 years.

Dave Ramsey’s advice is the equivalent of buying beanie babies and hoping to retire on their monetary value increase

People always talks about how much houses appreciate over time but fail to include the maintenance paid over the decades. A house is a money pit so it’s only fair you get paid for the maintenance, and upkeep of the home.

I’m a millennial. I bought a house for $460k in 2017. It’s worth $950k now. What’s your point?

As a boomer who has benefitted from this growth, I’m sad that it has priced you out of the market, and would happily have my assets lose some value if it led to more accessible housing for the next generation.

My dad’s first home purchase he made was as a single income as a gas station attendant in San Jose CA in 1978. That home sits on Zillow with an estimated value of 1.6M. I’m an operations manager and wife a physical therapist and we couldn’t buy it today together.

I bought my house six years ago and it’s almost doubled. I couldn’t afford it now. It wasn’t just those that bought a generation ago.

Real estate has long been touted as a relatively good investment, because they don’t make any more of it and there’s always a demand.

All the people here are really missing the point. When you’re saying, she didn’t invest meaning she didn’t have to invest in the stock market. If people wanna miss the point they’ll do it on purpose.

Real Estate Agent here. It didn’t appreciate that much unless she maintained it and updated along the way. If you’re looking at an app, they are always wrong.
