Thank you. I laughed out loud when I read this part: <<I priced out some relatively minor kitchen/bathroom renovation work in 2018 at around $100k. Put it off during covid times, and today the quote for the same work is well over $300k.>>

In many parts of the United States, you can buy a whole house for $300k.

One of my dearest friends lives on government assistance in a section 8 listed house with a mold problem in rural Oklahoma that is worth well over $150k now. Things are getting expensive, out of touch or not.

And you’d likely get anywhere from a third to half the house you’d have gotten in 2019. That’s the point.
