Year ? 1920’ ?


Not sure. Probably all over


1-4k usd for a house? Can't even get a car for that money now


3k gets you a hotdog, onion and a box of tissues these days! Mental.


our money is not just broken it is dying, it is dead


I bagged an old 1928 house, very similar in appearance and layout to "the castleton" (3rd one down). Can attest, they dont build stuff like this anymore, and the layout of a foursquare style house is perfect in my opinion


Nice 👍


1000$ Bitcoin buys today will get a house like this 10-15 years into the future.

Bitcoin reprices everything.

Bitcoin fixes housing market.

fact that our great / grandparents never had to fucking deal fucking artificial VOLATILITY n broken money that past 3 generations doing


yes, with sufficient Bitcoin adoption


I’ll take one of each, s'il vous plait.


These are awesome! Thank you for sharing.


The permits cost 4 times as much these days.


So many homes. Look at how they built them.  You can tell that they built them with competitive features in mind. Also built with the long lasting nature of many rooms to accommodate a growing family to be passed down generations. This long term thinking will bring its way back eventually.

For 5000 BTC I can build you one of these.

You used to be able to buy a home for the same price as answering a Jeopardy question. “Society”


Many of these old houses are very solid. Built with actual 2"*4" hardwood instead of the pine 1.5"*3.5" (called 2*4) today. Many of the houses built in 1970s and beyond have already been torn down

100x in 100years..

Things start to change in your mind when you understand the house didn't get 100 times bigger in 100 years.. neither people got 100 times smaller..

The only thing that changed is the purchasing power of the tool we used to exchange and store our work/time.

100 years later you have to work100 times more, or give 100 times more your saved time in order to purchase the same things.

Insane.


Whoa man , those look pretty cool, looks like something it would be handy to own. What are they called?


I saw something similar awhile back for huge New York apartments in the1920s. Similar prices. Amazing.

The Castleton is almost identical to my grandparents old place!


YES PLS


My house is from between 1910 and 1920, would fit in. Fell in love with it first time I walked in. Maintenance is stingy though.


The beautiful homes from a century ago that survived are proof of craftsmanship. New homes look sterile and utilitarian in comparison.

Guilty of looking at homes built prior to 1900 on home for sale search engines.


Wish I had a sleeping porch


I’ll take two country residences, ty 🤙🏽


That’s amazing! #Inflation 😢


I second that motion!


In 1919, the average pay was $750/year. A house costs $1,500.

If the Government had not stolen the purchasing power (through printing/inflation) the average cost of a house should be about $120,000 if you assume an average pay of $60,000 today.

Most of the these houses don't include foundation and land.

Either way - the Government stole from the people about 2/3rds their purchasing power the last 100 years if you assume average house costs over $400,000 today.

This makes sense, when you look at say, Nancy Pelosi's wealth and the wealth of any elected official before/after then 'serve' the people. Government has NEVER helped anyone but themselves - don't be fooled.


If you read the book, "The Price of Tomorrow" by Jeff Booth, you wiill clearly see how this happened, and why.

If Government would not have stolen 2/3rds of the purchasing power of the people, technology would have likely made housing DROP in price as related to income!

I don't know how to calculate it, but if average income is $60,000/year a house would likely cost LESS than $60,000 today if you did NOT have Government taxes/printing!

The reality is - average cost of a house would likely be a fraction of yearly average income - so if you made $60,000/year you could buy an average house for maybe $40,000 (the price of a car!).

If you are a Bitcoin optimist, this is EXACTLY what is ahead for all of us. Once we are on a #Bitcoin standard deflation will start making things cheaper - and you will eventually be able to have many things in life you never dreamed you could own!

This deflation which increases prosperity for WORKING CLASS will be felt in housing, food, energy, travel, and time freedom.

For many the 'freedom' will be the biggest benefit of a hard asset money!


WTF happened??


The price or the style? Or both? Lol
