    A cyber truck costs more than my house and huge yard did. I started comparing large purchases to the cost of my house, and it makes rich folks seem even crazier. Some people will buy a piece of shit, hazardous car for more than what some houses are worth. My house is in fine condition, too, it’s just very small and I got very very lucky with timing and the seller knowing what the property is actually worth.

      Do houses even go for that cheap anymore?

      After all the inflation, housing shortages, corporations buying housing, air bnbers, I figured houses across the board have become unattainable across the board.

        You gotta ask where they live. That’s not a city price, or even a suburb price. They live far from things, maybe have a small town nearby that hasn’t been gentrified yet.

        As far as houses where the vast majority of people and, importantly, opportunities are you’re right about the market being fucked.

        I got my house in 2022 for 60k. I closed a week before the market went absolutely bonkers, so I got really lucky with it. Idk how much it would cost nowadays, but probably too much.
