Washington State USA is expensive. I have lived in Seattle and Spokane. Both were affordable until the last 10 years and now most prices have doubled or more. The house I purchased in 2019 was $500k and the current value from some of the real estate sites puts it at almost $800K in less then 5 years.
Total bullshit but thankfully I love the house and I made out like a bandit when I purchased very low and sold very high on my first house, to be able to afford this house. It will be my forever home so I can't complain too much. Expect that when the city thinks the house is worth $800k, my taxes will reflect that even if its not worth that much.
