A few years ago an economist at George Mason University traced the appreciation of his Ol Town Alexandria house built in the 18th Century. The average rat of appreciation was 7%

According to the CPI calculator, that would be $136,000 in 2013. http://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl
(A GP rowhouse now sells for $750K-$900K depending on condition).


Is the house in the same condition it was in during the 1930s? No plumbing, climate control, or electrical upgrades, for example?


It has been improved throughout the years, so, no, it's not the same house. I think that GPS homes that have had little to no improvement, but that been maintained well, would sell now for about $750k or so.
