We bought our starter home in 1987 for $91,900, choosing to stay in it as long as possible, making minimum wear-and-tear repairs for 30+ years.
Zillow now says our home is worth about $155,000.
However…
$91,900 in 1987 →$201,428.46 in 2018
Thank goodness, we wisely managed a stock, mutual fund and bond portfolio as our primary source of retirement funds, not our house, whose price hasn’t kept up with inflation!
What’s the treehouse worth?!
