A post in another forum reminded me that I wanted to post this.

I love to frequent the real estate sections of local papers. All of the sudden, homes are priced in the millions. How did that happen? I recall just a couple years ago there was hardly a house with a million dollar price tag. Now there are plenty. Some in the 2's and 3's. I don't understand how that can happen within a three year period. Anyone else notice this?

People are making a bundle on real estate. I think it's great for boomers who are downsizing because they can make money. I feel sorry for the younger families who bought somehting a couple years ago, can now sell it and make a bundle, but where do they go to find soemthing comparable?
