Was £1,235/mo in 2016, now a similar flat in the same block is around £2,000/mo.

Honestly, I’m surprised it’s not higher.

I paid $450 for a single room in a house share ten years ago. Now it’s $850 for rooms on the same street

$1600/mo, but they raised it to $2600/mo a year later. I moved out.

That was about 10 years ago.

10 years later and it’s back down to $1600/mo.

$2,300 now and ~ $1,500 in 2016. 🥲

The bigger shock is our previous apartment that we left in 2014 because it was an unlivable dump. It was like $1600 (had roommates) but got gentrified to $3700 💀

$570 for my share of a crappy house in the middle of nowhere

Now I pay… Oh god, a lot. Quadruple that. But I live in a really nice city an ocean away

Edit: oops now that I have had coffee I’ll compare the same spot.

Looks like it’d be pretty similar, maybe $650 pp for a comparable one.

Man that area was cheap

My mortgage is 450€ and was the same 10y ago (fixed rate).

Meanwhile, my friend’s rent was 350€ 10y ago and 550€ today.

The first listing was in 2017 it was $2800. Now I pay $3500. It’s a full sized house though.

university housing was like $9K for two semesters, roughly $1k/month, which included a room, utilities, internet, laundry facilities, gym access, and a cafeteria meal plan (iirc 15 entries per week)

looks like now it’s like 15-17k

That’s pretty funny that you say ten years ago because that’s exactly how long ago we moved into this house. So the last apartment we stayed at was exactly ten years ago (and a few months).

The rent we paid at the time was $2200 USD. It’s now $3000 which is actually less than inflation.

I did not pay rent 10 years ago on account of being a kid, but I do know what it was, which is 150€/month. Anywho that specific apartment also isn’t listed at the moment but places of similar size in a similar area are ~450€ it looks like :3, though those ones are also in a nicer state than the place we used to rent
