   This is a valid point.  The house I am in now sold the first time in ~1968 for   
   $16,000.  It cost me a lot more to buy it in 2009.... not millions by any   
   stretch, but at least 10x more.   
      
   $16k is slightly more than "used-car," at least last I checked, but it is   
   not much of an exaggeration.
