minus-squarejj4211@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 months agoThink it was a rhetorical question, that $800k figure is crazy even by modern standards for a “starter” home. In my state, $800k is 3,000 square foot, 4 bedrooms, rooftop balcony, in the capital downtown. $400k gets you about the same, just like 5 miles from that downtown with more yard. $200k gets you a thousand square foot townhouse built in 2004… $75k gets you a thousand square foot mobile home built in 2020 on the outskirts of the capital…
