Don't be too hard on your dad...
By your numbers, the difference in rate of return b/w the actual house (if sold today) at 550K, and your Mom's Dream house worth 900K is approximately 0.52%. During that same period, your family most likely paid less property tax as well, at least that is what I would assume...
Sounds like a pretty good shake to me...IMHO.

Regards, Scott

Thanks,
I lived in North Park in the early 70's and all of the houses around were from the 1920's. But I can imagine they now sell in the high $700K. I am curious if a lot of those very old small homes are being bought and ripped down and new homes built or many there are zoning restrictions that really limit that.
