Heh .... I just checked the old farmhouse that my mother lives in. It's
the old house at the end of our driveway.
According to Zillow, it's one of our best, most stable investments. It's
value has fluctuated, but overall has maintained an upward trend.

It was built in 1800! John Adams Sr. was President, having replaced George
Washington. Adams was succeeded a year after the house was built by Thomas
Jefferson.

Not to quibble, but the 2nd POTUS was John Adams, not John Adams,
Senior. His son, John Quincy Adams, who also served as POTUS, had a
slightly different name, so neither was a "senior" or a "junior" to each
other.

BTW, property values in all the areas covered by Zillow have not declined.
