Well I am pretty sure that my dad made my mom burn down our first house so they could collect the insurance money and buy a double wide trailer. Fucking trailer was a sick 1988 model, but I don't think it has held its value.It also depends on location.
My parents sold their house in 1997 for $55k
I saw it listed on Zillow a couple of years ago for $75k.
I looked at a House in Queens Village (another Philly neighborhood) that was selling around the same time for like $600k that last sold in 1998 for $60k.
Clustering, white flight, gentrification, zoning laws etc... all play big parts on housing prices.
