An aunt's house in Santa Monica, California. What you can't see in this chart is the big 1990-1997 drop, where the house dropped from $500,000 to $250,000. The house was originally purchased ~$300,000 (and still is assessed for property taxes at ~$500,000).

Adjusting for inflation (CPI-U), this house was purchased for $558,000 (in Nov 2008 dollars), so it's still 101% too high (possible bubble).
