Same for the house we live in, except we rent it... so yea us, at least the landlords haven't jacked up the rent, I guess.

Landlords bought it in 2012 for approx. $225k. Did some renovations but nothing major/structural - redid the kitchen floor and put in mid-market appliances, new vanity and toilet in one bathroom but didn't redo the tub, etc. Now assessed well north of $500k.

Market here has seemed bubbly for several years now, even on top of the generally expensive nature of Boston real estate.
