In Rochester, N.Y.
Bought my first house in 1980(in the city) for 33,000 and sold it three years later for 54,000.
House #2, 1983 (suburbs) for 69,000. Sold it eight years later for 99,000
Finally, house #3. Purchased in '92 for 100,000 (back in the city). Just recently had it appraised for a home equity line for 140,000.
But really, go this way a mile, and you'll find properties for 5 or 600,000, and go that way for five blocks and find em for 45,000. The one constant though............THE TAXES SUCK! (I Love NY)
