    I bet if you looked at the average in your area, it’d be below $800. Now, whether any of those units would ever become available without the current occupant dying? That’s another question entirely. I think COVID was an excuse for the entire economy to go stupid, but the utter lack of new housing everywhere has a lot to do with why costs are nuts. Especially in cities. Here on the east coast if you’re in literally any city, you’re paying out the ass. But the second you leave the city you can find decent places at decent prices still.
