The 2500 sq ft San Jose house (with almost no yard) my dad rented from 73 to 75 when he was PCS’d there for 2 years was $350/month and sold for $45000 new in 1972. It’s now worth $1.6M. I’ve been back and the whole area is a dump. Crazy!
My uncle bought a place right across the golden gate bridge in Marin County in 1966. Recently sold it. Got $1.8 million for a cracker box.
