Year ? 1920’ ?

1-4k usd for a house? Can't even get a car for that money now

3k gets you a hotdog, onion and a box of tissues these days! Mental.

I bagged an old 1928 house, very similar in appearance and layout to "the castleton" (3rd one down). Can attest, they dont build stuff like this anymore, and the layout of a foursquare style house is perfect in my opinion

fact that our great / grandparents never had to fucking deal fucking artificial VOLATILITY n broken money that past 3 generations doing

yes, with sufficient Bitcoin adoption

I’ll take one of each, s'il vous plait.

These are awesome! Thank you for sharing.

The permits cost 4 times as much these days.

So many homes. Look at how they built them. You can tell that they built them with competitive features in mind. Also built with the long lasting nature of many rooms to accommodate a growing family to be passed down generations. This long term thinking will bring its way back eventually.

You used to be able to buy a home for the same price as answering a Jeopardy question. “Society”

Very fun! But TBF these don't seem to include labor :)

Whoa man , those look pretty cool, looks like something it would be handy to own. What are they called?

I saw something similar awhile back for huge New York apartments in the1920s. Similar prices. Amazing.

YES! My dad was architect and said that the smart use of square footage, ie no wasted space, and good use of light in a home were two of the most important things. I imagine these models had well thought out use of both.

The Castleton is almost identical to my grandparents old place!

YES PLS

My house is from between 1910 and 1920, would fit in. Fell in love with it first time I walked in. Maintenance is stingy though.

The beautiful homes from a century ago that survived are proof of craftsmanship. New homes look sterile and utilitarian in comparison. Guilty of looking at homes built prior to 1900 on home for sale search engines.

Wish I had a sleeping porch

I’ll take two country residences, ty 🤙🏽

That’s amazing! #Inflation 😢

I second that motion!

In 1919, the average pay was $750/year. A house costs $1,500. If the Government had not stolen the purchasing power (through printing/inflation) the average cost of a house should be about $120,000 if you assume an average pay of $60,000 today. Most of the these houses don't include foundation and...

If you read the book, "The Price of Tomorrow" by Jeff Booth, you wiill clearly see how this happened, and why. If Government would not have stolen 2/3rds of the purchasing power of the people, technology would have likely made housing DROP in price as related to income! I don't know how to calcula...

WTF happened??

The price or the style? Or both? Lol
