Do you mind sharing how many years ago?
How much did you pay?
How big is the house/condition?

I’m just asking out of interest because it’s something I’m into now.

Full house
Yes it sounds very cheap. And it's too small for us. But Baruch Hashem I will never complain.

A huge variable is the parking option... Private driveway? Shared driveway where easy to pull into the back? Nonexistent driveway? Carport?

Prices shot up right after we bought. In the outskirts of the Jewish community, which is now all Jewish.

I think they’d start around $850, depending on size, etc. Pricing I’ve seen is 725 and up for semi attached 3br with shared drive and $850 and up for the same semi attached with private drive. Larger, fully detached houses go for more than that.
