Depends on the house.
Square footage has increased, and so have building and efficiency (insulation, air tightness) codes.
- littlestymaar 3y agoYou're talking about new houses here though. Not the gigantic existing stock (which also has seen its price rise).
- throw0101b 3y agoA house from 2020 is different than once from 2000, is different than one from 1980. I used to live in a house that was originally constructed in 1890: it not only had residual disconnected knob-and-tube electrical wiring, but piping for gas lamp lighting. Some homes in the neighbourhood had small doors for milk deliveries and also coal chutes.
- littlestymaar 3y agoSure, but even today more people live in houses from the 80s than in house from 2020, so comparing the average house price in 2023 with the house standard from 2020 doesn't really make sense, because the average house is much older than this.
