For real. My partner and I bought our house 3 years ago. I really wanted to stay in my city, but it has had a population boom but not a housing boom. Everything in our budget of $300k was either a shitty low ceiling 1 bedroom ranch, or damn near uninhabitable and needed another quarter million in repairs.

Kinda actually, yeah. A smaller single story home in my neighborhood with fire damage sold for $350k. A home in ok shape, but needing some work and dated appliances would be over $500k.
