The price of buying a house Records from The Great Depression show the price of buying a house dropped as money lost it's value. Houses prices ranged between a few hundred to a max of a couple thousand! The best house that you can get in the 21 century that is cheap would be priced over $100,000!
After The Great Depression struck, money lost it's worth. Money, being made out of cotton which was easy to get ahold of back then, was still made but with it being of lesser value people didn't want it that much.
