What's In A Name?

[roadwreck]

This is a fun way to waste a minute or two. The New York Times put together a tool where you can put in the name of the street you live on and it will tell you how much more or less homes on streets with that name are worth then the national average.

Mashie Circle. 85% higher than the US average.

Fatty money, y'all!

 

[P-E]

I got 337% higher. I wonder where those mansions are?

 

[FLBuff PE]

23% more for my current home. The road I grew up on (my parent's house) is 41% less.

 

[csb]

My current street is 39% less. The earliest house I remember living in was 34% less. My parents house is 55% less. Now I have to wonder if I'm pulling the average up or down.

 

[Ble_PE]

My street name doesn't even come up.

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

"Van down by the river" is not a legit street name.

 

[Supe]

20% higher. Looked like two hits including my own. We're practically paupers by comparison to y'all.

 

[Ble_PE]

We can't all make fatty money.

 

[Supe]

The street I grew up on, unsurprisingly, is 42% less than national average.

"There are no other streets with that name in the data."

Funny and yet sad, every street I've lived on seems to be substandard. fml

[Sapper PE LS]

42% less, yet its in the better part of town, so that kind of sucks.

 

[mudpuppy]

68% less. Do I win?
