Even here, our house value has skyrocketed, we bought in 2015 and are at 33% increase in value. It’s ridiculous.
I just can’t pay $700k for a house in PA... plus property tax.
To each their own. IMO it’s expensive for a reason. It’s a great place to be and we can walk everywhere. We absolutely love living in Doylestown. Prior military and have lived in 14 places in my life and this is by far our favorite.
You don’t really have to spend $700k here but you do have to spend $450k and that will get you a fixer upper. Our home value has gone up 20% in the 2 years since we moved here. To get a home anything like in The Woodlands (for example) you’re going to spend at least twice as much.
