The house my parents bought up north brand new before I was born tripled from 1960-80 then tripled again by 1986 when they sold and moved to FL..Actually went up another 50% by 1989 before their big 'crash' even worse than this one for that area.. Seems even the three horrible recessions were only a minor blip back then at least in the NY area..

Rates AND housing prices went through the roof in the late 70s-early 80s. Big boomer demand and high oil prices. Were coming out of a 1977 housing recession too.
