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.

My first house I bought for $25000 in 1969 is zillow at $466k now. *But
zillow is wrong on the number of bedrooms, unless somebody changed the
house. *Was 3 bed, 2 bath when we had it. *Sold it for $79k in 1979.

Funny about Zillow. *My house is one of the bigger in the neighborhood, and
is listed at less than the 500 sq ft smaller home across the street. *And
the same basic house 5 down the street just sold for $789k and mine has both
an extra 450' family room and a pool.- Hide quoted text -

Yeah, they are way off in my neighborhood, too. I've got one of the
newest houses in the area, etc. By the way, they don't give you
anything in value for a pool, it's a wash because some people may not
want the pool. But I know I sure like mine!
