I’ve got a book around here somewhere called “How to Build Your Dream Home for $5,000”. I think it was published in the 30’s.

Funny. My parents bought a newly built home on about 1/3 acre in 1943 for about $3400 in a new suburb. Payments were $37/mo. for 30 years and they fulfilled the contract on that 800sf house where I grew up. Sold it in ‘73 for $35k and bought a larger place with an acre for about $12k.
