… if you pay for the home in silver:
In 2,000 the median price of a home was about $120K and silver was worth about $5/ounce… so it took 24,000 silver coins to buy a house.
Today the median price of a home is about $160K and silver is worth about $40/ounce… so it takes only 4,000 silver coins to buy a house (1/6th of what it cost in ounces of silver in 2000).
