Three bedroom, 2-1/2 bath house. Under $25,000 brand

It would have been more in a good neighborhood.
My parents bought a 4 bedroom 2-1/2 bath center hall colonial in 1971
for $41,500. This was far outside the beltway.

I bought a 4 br 2 1/2 for $31k in 1971 in Clinton Md. My ex still
lives there. Zillow says it is worth $318k now.

Yeah, Zillow sez the one I bought for $25000 and change is worth $325 now.

We lived in that house for just under five years, and then sold it for
$85K or so and bought another new house a bit closer in...and then sold
that house in four years and built a custom house for, well, a bit more.
