I live in St Louis, a minor/medium city in the middle of the US. 4 years ago I could throw a rock off the roof of my work and not hit a single house over $100k, I’d be lucky to hit one over $50. Now though? Nothing within miles does less than $150-200, house prices have become insane and it’s only being bought up by rental companies that charge insane rents for what was a literal crackhouse before they bought it.
