More Past Lives of Real Estate

I stumbled over this 2005 NYTimes article while searching for information on a new loft development up the street from my house.

And I couldn't help but laugh a little, because these types of articles pop up over and over, and a few years later, we had a near-collapse of the financial system, and nine years later, I was able to buy my house for significantly less than the women quoted in this article paid for it.

I hope I timed this right. If not, it's still a nice house, even if I can't live in it yet due to be on the other side of the country.
