THANK YOU very much. Yes - that was the episode I recalled. I find it hard to believe my recollection was half-way on the mark. Harder to believe you knew what I was talking about and found it!
Thanks again.
BTW - ANYONE could look around at the prices of houses and KNOW that was not what the real value was. My mom, in hearing of our neighbors selling their homes would say “Wow - and your house was nicer than theirs - your house is worth a lot of money now!” I would reply “If we wanted to sell it that’s what we could get, but it isn’t worth that much.”
