We grew up in a small house my parents bought with $700 DOWN!! ha ha They added a den and master bedroom in the first two years. Ten years later added a mother in law quarters for my grandmother with a kitchen/sitting room/bedroom/bath. The house went from 900 SF to about 2700 SF today. Value went from $19K in 1966 to $795K in 2007. (and now that M&D live in Hawaii, my cousin's family and their 80+ yo parents live there.)
M&D with that house are still under Prop 13 though.
