My brother bought his home for $12,000, but that was in the 60s. Not possible in the 80s.

I was 24 in 1987 and unless it was a shack in the boonies, you couldn't buy a house for $12,000. [Tears of joy][Tears of joy][Tears of joy][Tears of joy][Tears of joy][Tears of joy]

The price is incorrect. In 1985, I bought my 2 bedroom, small house for $105,000 and that was a deal.

I’m a boomer 73 years old and it took me until I was in my 40s to afford a home so it’s ridiculous that you think everybody did that!

Someone bought a house for $12,000 in 1987. It was a shit box… you can buy a $30,000 house right now it’ll be a shit box but you people don’t wanna do that. You wanna have the house of your parents have that spent tens of thousands of dollars fixing up every year

Median home price in '87 was about 100k. Back then, you could buy a 12×48 mobile home for about 15k.

That’s a 1950’s price but nice try unless it was a cardboard box under the freeway.
