Something they could have bought for $250k back then is like $1.5M+ now. As they say "when you predict something for long enough it eventually comes true doesnt it?"

Maybe another 30 years? maybe 50? who knows. I'll be dead by then.
I don't know what it was like for you, but I distinctly remember 2007 / 2008 house prices taking an absolute hammering. I remember because I bought a flat in October 2007 right before prices crashed.
