In most areas 1995 was a low point for house prices. My house, bought in 1998, when prices were rising again is also now worth about 4 times what I paid for itBigphil1474 said:That's crazy. Our house cost £45k in 1995, and we just sold for £180k. Can't believe the jump on that one - has it been coated in liquid gold.
It's literally just a house too, lol. A very nice one, double garage, decent sized rooms etc, but it is JUST a "house". Not a mini-mansion or anything.
Coincidentally it still hadn't sold for over a year, when I saw it. I wonder why..0
