Look at the 5 year valuation on any house in eastern MA on Redfin and you'll see a very similar trend

That comment isn't accurate. Ive been looking at everything under 550 and Ive seen plenty of places that are super rough in Middlesex country that are 500-550 where there are like 30 people at the open house and it goes way over asking in a day. Id be happy to buy a house that needs some elbow grease to make nice but the options out there are like buy something under 600k that has major structural flaws you can't afford to repair or move out west and have a 2 hour commute or just continue getting outbid by contractors and investors who will either tear down or flip these places because they actually have the cash
