The median pay during The Great Depression was 22% of the cost of the average home. Today, it’s 14%
That means it was actually easier to buy a house during the Depression than it is today.
That is absolutely ridiculous.
Sears Dedham pre-cut house under $1500, which is $25,000 in today’s money. Even considering you had to do the work yourself, hiring out the electric and plumbing, it’s a lot less than today’s prices.
