Not accounting for inflation, it&#x27;s not hard to believe:<p><pre><code>    Median Home Values: Unadjusted

                     2000      1990      1980      1970     1960     1950    1940
 California        $211,500  $195,500   $84,500   $23,100  $15,100   $9,564  $3,527
</code></pre>
The median alone is almost two orders of magnitude greater as of 2000, let alone 2016. I&#x27;m sure there is at least one bay-area home that has been untouched for 50 or 60 years that is now selling for well over a million.<p>From: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.census.gov&#x2F;hhes&#x2F;www&#x2F;housing&#x2F;census&#x2F;historic&#x2F;values.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.census.gov&#x2F;hhes&#x2F;www&#x2F;housing&#x2F;census&#x2F;historic&#x2F;valu...</a>
