crazy isn't it?
a truly nice house of say 5-7000 sq feet in a posh part of greater Nashville is now around 2M and up
That same home is 1995 was maybe 400-500k
Try being a young professional making between 50k and 75k and buying a starter home in the Northeast. At least half a mil for a 2000 sq ft. 3 br 1.5 ba. home.
