220k for a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 2 car garage with a large driveway on a cul-de-sac in Pomona back in 2009-10.
Originally was to be an investment to fix up and sell but after a while I started to like the area more and more - quieter, less traffic, parks, shopping, etc.
Father and sister moved out over a year ago and went back to LA and now it's just me and the house.
I'm not going to front, 2k in mortage and bills a month doesn't leave me the same freedom to pursue other interests (cars) that that once had but at the same time I was starting to feel like I was outgrowing wasting money of on fixing old buckets.
Houses in my area are now selling for 400 to 450k. I can't complain.
