I think a better way of seeing it is in terms of the difference in inflation between 1971 and today. Then and now you will find homes for various different prices from the ramshackle to the Beverley Hills. It's the purchasing power that is key. US inflation between 1971 and today adjusted at 554.83%, which translates into a total increase of $554.83. This means that today you would need to spend 554.83 dollars to be able to buy what 100.00 dollars could by in 1971. So let's say that you were planning on buying a starter home after getting married and were budgeted to spend 20000.00 dollars. In today's adjustment for inflation you would need to pay 110,966 dollars for that same home. If Larry Ellison's house (the founder of Oracle) estimated at a value of 129,000,000 today was at that value in 1971, by today's estimate you'd need to spend 715,730,700.
